SmugMug > all-time keyword > apogee > Here's the letter Scott wrote me just after we got in touch over the phone about possibly doing some work with him. You can see that I told him they don't go through personal mail and it was okay to send it directly to me at work.
SmugMug > all-time keyword > apogee > Here's the first offical letter written from id Software to Apogee Software detailing our plans to develop the first Commander Keen trilogy. The signatures are: John Romero, John Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and you'll see we were calling ourself Ideas From The Deep at the very beginning - that was a company that myself and Lane Roathe started in February 1989. IFD is still around today: http://www.ifd.com and Lane Roathe is still operating it!
SmugMug > all-time keyword > apogee > The is one of the "legendary" letters that Scott Miller (CEO of 3D Realms; back then Apogee Software) wrote me trying to get me to contact him so we could work together. You'll see he changed his name at the end of the letter because he was paranoid that Softdisk would be screening all mail that was delivered to their employees to prevent poaching. The reason Scott wanted to contact me is because he saw my PC game Pyramids of Egypt (which was a conversion from the 1985 Apple // version) published on Big Blue Disk and wanted to know if I would do a derivative of that game for him to publish. He wrote a few more of these kinds of crazy letters before I contacted him (one of them said, "Please write back! I'm 65 years old!" LOL!)
SmugMug > all-time keyword > apogee > This is an issue of PC Games magazine from Sept/Oct 1990 that Scott Miller (then of Apogee Software) sent me with some post-it notes pointing out some recent mentions of his Kroz games and an author that he was starting to publish. Also in this issue was the ad for the sampler disk of games that kicked off the Gamer's Edge subscription product. When this ad was made we didn't have a name for the product so they called it "SuperGame Sampler" - lame. A while later we called it PCRcade....until Softdisk found out someone else trademarked the name. Then we finally settled on Gamer's Edge for the product. Some time after Softdisk ceased publishing, Computer Gaming World started using the name for one of their columns.
