David Perry was the President and Founder of Shiny Entertainment. With David at the helm, Shiny earned both critical and commercial success, forging a reputation as a forward-looking, innovative force that's constantly pushing the boundries in the gaming world.
Perry launched his career at just 15 years of age, when he started writing computer game programming books in his Native Ireland. Since then, David has developed 35 games (serving as lead programmer on 24 of them), totalling 101 individual retail titles across 23 video game platforms. All told, Perry's games have totalled more than $500 million in sales.
Early 2006, Atari announced it wanted to sell certain development divisions, including Shiny. Perry left the company as he was part of the Atari management, and wanted to find a buyer independently.
