Who are some of your design idols from the Apple II days? Any idea what they are doing now?
Well, Bill Budge, Richard Garriott and Nasir Gebelli are my favorites from that era. Bill is still working at 3DO right now, Nasir lives in Sacramento, CA and just works on whatever project he feels like (he really made some great cash from Final Fantasy), and Richard has recently departed Origin and is taking a break from the biz right now.
