John Hagerman helped set
the standard to computer games when he was hired to do the game
design and write the script for CyberRace by CyberDreams.
This groundbreaking game was inspired
by the art of renowned film production designer, Syd Mead. That art
inspired John to write a feature-length film
script and create a branching structure that allowed the story
to evolve in a nearly limitless number of ways, depending on what the
player did during each level. The success of
the game, story, and structure inspired other game producers to utilize
Hollywood screenwriting talent. In addition, John also wrote
the copy for the marketing brochure shown here. |
