Game Designers' Census

Current Employment: Owner of Gamescience and Zocchi Distributors
Words of Wisdom: It is assinine to presume that the order of battle given in someone else's game is all that you need to craft an improved game on the same subject. Do not presume that Jane's All the World's Aircraft, or Ships or Weapons, is without flaw. It is a today's work, about today's weapons, for today's people. Performance parameters which are classified and unknown are estimated and quite likely inaccurate. The games we design are so intricately engineered that they can be improved after having been around for ten years or more.
Favorite Game of Own Design: Basic and Advanced Fighter Combat
Favorite Game of Another's Design: Chess and Gettysburg
Design/Development Credits: Battle of Britain; Flying Tigers; 12 O'Clock High; Luftwaffe; Hardtack; Minuteman; Alien Space; Basic Fighter Combat; Advanced Fighter Combat; Star Fleet Battle Manual; Battlewagon Salvo; MIG Killers
