The game was a clone of Mario Kart but we felt we polished it to something actually more fun and we personally got addicted to playing 4 player competitive racing. The team was relatively small and everyone on it was amazing. It was extremely fun to work on Crash Team Racing for PS1. Of course it was also fun because I got to work with Sid Meier. That’s probably on reason why their games are generally fun. I doubt the presidents or CEOs of Activision or EA are actually gamers. It was fun to work at Microprose in the mid 80s because the boss, Wild Bill Stealey, actually played games and he didn’t let them ship unless he found them fun. Gregg: It’s hard to pick one specific game but 3 specific situations come to mind. U64: You’ve been in the Games Industry for a while now, in all of your time working with games, out of all the games you’ve helped develop which games development stands out the very most to you? I’m currently at Google working on adding technology to web browsers to make it easier to play games in them though both the WebGL and Pepper projects. Gregg: My name is Gregg Tavares, I’ve been making games for over 25 years starting on the Atari 800 all the way up to the 360 and PS3. U64: Thanks for your time Gregg, would you like to introduce yourself to our readers? We had the chance to have a short interview with him, to talk about his time in the gaming world and asking for some unseen tales on the projects that he worked on. As we can read on MobyGames, Gregg Tavares has worked on many of our favourite games, as Wild 9 and Crash Team Racing for the PSX, Gex for 3DO, Locoroco for the PSP, Zombie Revenge for the Arcade, Afro Samurai for the PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360, along with some more obscure (and unseen) ones, as Disruptor for the M2, Terminator vs Robocop for the NES and Project Y for the PS2.
