Muinaisen MicroProsen duunarit muistelevat Facebook-foorumilla

Jopas se Rautiainen taas löytöjä teki. Tällä kertaa ukko bongasi Facebookista sen verran kivan yhteisön, että sehän kannattaa jo tärpätä muillekin. Nimittäin: ennen muinoin mahtavan ja maailman parhaan pelitalon MicroProsen työntekijät notkuvat yhdessä Facebook-ryhmässä, jossa he jakavat MPS-muisteloja ja valokuvia.

Kerrassaan mahtava ryhmä, jossa bongaa mitä kiintoisimpia kommentteja ja anekdootteja muinaisilta ajoilta. Kuten…

Why isn’t Allan Kalbarczyk in this group and how the hell did he end up in my kitchen playing DnD 4.0 2 weeks ago? And who is this guy anyway? You mahogany row types never came down to QA.

JW Wild Bill Stealey Mark, I beg to differ with you! I spent lots of time in QA in the early days! Heck I was the only QA guy. I do remember playing games back their when Sid would run a military sim from his office with the other commanders were runing their troops hiding in their offices! And be careful Allan cheats at golf! (He also does our taxes here at IENT!) Who has to invite him? Best, WB PS This is the trailer Don Goddard pulled from Cary NC back to PA last weekend. On it is the first ever F-15 Strike Eagle Coin Op, Red Baron, Tank Attack, Border Clash, and BOTSS. Sad to see them go but Don says he is going to get them all running again!

Jim Berry In fact, I seem to recall that in my days (late ’80s) it was part of every blue-carpet person’s job to try to direct you red-carpet folks _away_ from the labs side. (No offense, of course)

JW Wild Bill Stealey Very Cool. I will have to get a copy! Was a great product release with both F-19 and F-117A. Sometime I will have to tell you the story about Tom Clancy telling us it was the F-19, and then at the Pentagon on Reserve duty on the JCS, I found out he was wrong as we were shipping F-19. Worked out for MPS though!

Bruce C. Milligan The reason the F-117A got its designation in the first place — if the story I was told was in fact true — is pretty amusing itself.

Bruce C. Milligan Well, what I was told was that first, F-117A was a training designation, and not intended to be the final designation, but that somebody had spent over $100,000 to print up manuals with ”F-117A” on them, so to save money, it became that, instead of, probably the F-19. That’s what I was told, back when I was involved with the game!
