<Highlander> once tried to test me with: > http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=55122 > A post on John Romero's message boards by Romero himself reveals that > the former id Software designer and founder of the now defunct Ion > Storm has departed Midway Games. Romero, along with Ion Storm > co-founder Tom Hall, was hired by Midway less than two years ago and > Romero worked on the design of the upcoming action-RPG Gauntlet: Seven > Sorrorws. There is no word on why Romero left Midway although this > post at Computer Games Magazine speculates that Romero was fired by > Midway thanks to a quick mention near the end of a lengthy blog entry > by game designer David Jaffe. Romero states that cannot comment on > Gauntlet's current status following his departure and adds, "I'm > currently looking at lots of exciting developments right now and it'll > be a couple months before I can announce my next destination." Thanks > to Blue's News for the tip Hopefully Romero's latest game Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is pretty good, because looking at the previews of it it really did look kick ass, I hope the gameplay is as cool. I'm curious as to what Romero's next project will be, since he really seems to have a lot of bad luck. What I don't understand is why the press still hounds him after all these years. I mean, yeah, the "make you his bitch" ads were an extremly bad idea, but come on, that's so 1990's. -- Knight37 - http://knightgames.blogspot.com Once a Gamer, Always a Gamer.
