In a post on his ‘official’ blog, Junction Point, veteran game developer Warren Spector reveals that he has been involved in the industry for 25 years! That’s longer than a lot of gamers have been alive!

Warren Spector, who has had a hand in such seminal gaming experiences as the Wing Commander series, the Ultima series, System Shock, the Thief series and Deus Ex, now working at the Disney-owned Junction Point Studios, first got his start working at Steve Jackson Games, as Spector recounts his interview with Jackson:

“Anyway, I remember marching up to Steve’s house for an interview that felt like a fun conversation with a gaming buddy, and I remember him offering me a minimum wage job as an Assistant Editor, and I remember leaving feeling like the happiest guy on Earth.”

Go have a read over his thank-you list, recalling all the people who have aided his career throughout the years. It reads like a veritable “who’s who” of game industry legends.
