Mike got his first computer 23 years ago and has been programming games ever since. While teaching himself how to program, Mike made lots of games (that no one but he has ever played), and repaired Atari video games and computers to earn money. When Mike finally decided to give up his ordinary job and work full time making games, he joined Impressions, where he worked for 6 and a half years, on a variety of published titles. Most notable for him was Lords of Magic, and the Special Edition, his “labors of love.” Mike’s discipline, intensity, and rigorous approach to his craft make him the perfect cornerstone for the Tilted Mill programming team.

Mike’s published games include:

• Pharaoh – director of technology & lead programmer
• Lords of the Realm III – lead programmer (through 3/2002)
• Zeus – director of technology & lead programmer
• Lords of Magic & Special Edition – lead programmer
• Poseidon – director of technology
• Rise and Rule of Ancient Empires – programmer
• Casino Deluxe II – sole programmer
