Dear Film, Game, Music and Entertainment People, Friends, Investors
and Fans,
WHAT: The Network Austin Mixer
WHEN: Wednesday April 9 - 7 PM Till Late
WHERE: Mother Egan's Irish Pub - 715 West 6th St. Austin , TX
WHO: Everyone involved in film and media... and YOU!
SPEAKERS: Dallas Snell - a pioneer in the computer game industry!
At our April 9 Mixer our guest speaker will be Dallas Snell, a true
pioneer in the computer game industry.
Dallas Snell joined NCsoft as Director of Business Development in
April 2006. As a veteran (i.e. old-timer) of the gaming industry,
Dallas began his career with the development and publication of the #1
graphic adventure game, The Quest, in 1983. Two years later, he joined
Richard and Robert Garriott at Origin Systems. In 1986, Richard and
Dallas jumped ship from Origin's rather chilly New Hampshire offices,
and founded Origin's product development division in Austin, Texas.
Shortly thereafter, Dallas became Origin's Vice President of Product
Development. During his tenure at Origin, Dallas managed, produced, or
executive produced, over 50 original game titles, including such best-
sellers as the Ultima and Wing Commander series. After Origin's
acquisition by Electronic Arts in 1992, Dallas became Vice President &
General Manager of the Origin division. In 1996, he left the gaming
business to pursue other interests. However, the lure of multiplayer
online games proved more than he could resist, and Dallas rejoined
Richard and Robert at NCsoft in 2006.
