In the early days of the video game business, everybody played. The question is, what happened? My theory - and I think it's pretty well borne out - is that in the '80s, games got gory, and that lost the women. And then they got complex, and that lost the casual gamer.

I must confess I've always had a couple of pinball machines in my home and really have enjoyed some of the old classics, like Fireball.

The idea is to become a best-selling author first and then the rest of my books will be slam dunks.

I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time.

I believe that in games, when you're talking about pitting my wits and my brain against your wits and your brain, that simplicity of the game becomes a dominant factor.

Being your own boss is much superior to working for the man. Including working for your father.

People hate to and will not read instructions.
