John Passfield in Apogee Legacy

I think you all know of 3D Realms, dont you? Of Duke Nukem Forever fame? Well, 3D Realms have been around forever, and in the early days, they were known as Apogee Software. On the 3D Realms website, they have a series of legacy interviews where they go back and interview some of the developers they worked with over the years. The latest interview is with none other than local industry veteran, John Passfield!

"Today our "Apogee Legacy" Interview series continues with the seventh edition, this time with John Passfield. John was one of the creators of our 1994 title, "Halloween Harry" (later renamed to Alien Carnage). John's influence went beyond that though as some people who worked with him on Harry also worked with us on other projects, too..."

This is an incredible read, and you'll find some fascinating insights on the early days of local game development for John and the rest of the team that did Halloween Harry, which also includes Darren Baker, Tony Ball, Steve Stamatiadis, Stephen Baker, and Robert Crane. The newspaper scan is great :)
