This is the fantastic story of Peter Molyneux himself. Despite his reputation as one of the few great designers, he is modest and seems genuinely pleased by every compliment, wasting no time in crediting the quality of his games to his coworkers and a design process that includes months and months of outside testing. But behind every classic bearing the Bullfrog name, Molyneux remains the driving creative force.
The son of toy-shop owners, he knew from an early age he wanted to work with games, but his career started out in a backwards fashion. In his early 20s he started a company that sold floppy disks. Molyneux somehow got the idea that his disks would sell more rapidly if he put games on them. Eventually, this led to the realization that the games themselves were the selling point, so he decided to try his hand at game design. The result was Entrepreneur, a text-based business simulation released to a world that wanted shooters. "In those days you could literally call a game 'Space Blob Attacks Mars' and sell about 50 million copies. " Molyneux "published" the game himself, duplicating hundreds of tapes on two Tandy recorders and taking out a small ad in a gaming magazine. He prepared himself for the big time. The lack of success for Entrepreneur led to Taurus, the meeting with Commodore, and the chance for a second shot at game design - a second chance that would involve yet another misunderstanding. | |
