I am a software engineer, working at a video game company. This is about the coolest job a programmer could have!

I graduated from IIT with a B.S. in Computer Science. I only have a few more credit hours left to complete my M.S. in Computer Science.


Bubble Pop is a little game I wrote for the IBM PC. It's sort of like an 'anti-Asteroids'. Instead of running away from the asteroids, the object is to guide your ship into and pop as many bubbles as you can before time runs out. Requires a 486 or higher, VGA graphics. Sound Blaster or compatible recommended.

If you do download it, please send me a quick Email letting me know if you liked it or not.

Note: It works fine on DOS, Windows 95 and Windows 98.

I wrote two Atari 2600 cartridges that are currently for sale.

Edtris 2600 is a "Tetris-like" game. I'm sure I don't need to explain what this game is all about to you!

SoundX is a "sound demo" program, which shows the Atari 2600 sound registers on the screen, and allows you to change them using the joystick controllers. You can recreate some of the sound effects found in other Atari games.

Each cartridge is $16. Contact Randy Crihfield, who is making and shipping them for me. His Email address is randyc@east.sun.com and he will have the details.
