Dinner with Bill Holt at Whistler’s. He brought me up to date on what everybody at Broderbund is doing. He also asked me about my summer plans. I said I was thinking about doing another game. He said Gary would love to have me back.
So, I figure I’ll fly up there around the middle of July, stay with somebody for a while, see if I can get a new project lined up. I’ll call Gary on Monday and tell him.
Note: call — not write. Gary — not Ed. Writing to Ed hasn’t worked for me too well in the past. He’s a Busy Man. I have a feeling they don’t use letters much out there, anyway.
Bill suggested I ask Gary, not Ed, to pick up the tab. “If your dad ever disowns you,” Bill said, “I think Gary would adopt you.”
I’m psyched to Return to Marin.
Lunch with Jeff Kleeman. Afterwards, he came over and I recorded the score to Vertigo for him. I’ll look him up in L.A. this summer. Also, jogging this morning, I ran into Mike Saltzman and Eve Maremont.


The first game i play in my entire life was prince of persia. I was in elementary school and my parents found prince of persia such a nice game too. My father bought me a IBM with a Super VGA Secreen, i spent my shool vacations playing this game with my friends. Nowdays we are all mens and some of us having their own children, but we steel have the memories of our childwood trying to save that famous princess of the game. We are from Portugal and i want say “thank you” because you make my childwood so much fun with your “prince of persia”. I never make so good friends that i use to have in front of screen, playing your game, but i sure that me, my friends, and all people that play your game, become more happy human beens becaus you.
Thank you for everything and if i could found you, certainly i´ll give you a big huge for this game that i steel love. Thank you for everything…
