Romero and Hall Go Hand-held (http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=1042001-155147)
"Video game creators Tom Hall and John Romero today announced the formation of Monkeystone Games, a video game developer and publisher with an emphasis on handheld platforms. Monkeystone’s team of veterans comes together with a singular vision and more than 50 years of experience in the video game industry. Fresh off his RPG Anachronox, Tom Hall leads the creative charge and fills the role of game designer and president. Hall is joined by long-time design partner John Romero as lead programmer and chief executive officer.
Filling out the Monkeystone business department are Brian Moon and Stevie Case. Moon comes to the studio fresh from his service as chief financial officer at Ensemble Studios, makers of the multi-million unit selling Age of Empires series of PC games. Case slips into the role of vice president and production coordinator. :heh: Monkeystone is also joined by Lucas Davis in the position of manager of information systems and programmer.
Monkeystone’s first creation, scheduled for release online in the Monkeystone store on November 1, is an original action-puzzle game for the Pocket PC titled Hyperspace Delivery Boy! featuring bizarre environments, quirky humor, and fiendishly designed levels. Players are Guy Carrington, who must make his way through 30 tough assignments that span the galaxy in a quest for the title of Delivery Boy 1st Class.
Monkeystone plans to release several more major games for the Pocket PC within the next six months. According to Moon, “We believe this is the industry to be in. It’s exciting and new and there are emerging opportunities. Handhelds are innovative and feel different from other gaming platforms. With great software, the Pocket PC will become the grown-up Game Boy Advance.”
In addition to developing for the Pocket PC, Monkeystone will create original titles for other handheld platforms including the Game Boy Advance, Qualcomm’s BREW for mobile devices, and Microsoft’s Stinger protocol.
