He was in the design team of Bladerunner... by Westwood.

After Police Quest 3, he left Sierra and formed a company
with other ex-Sierra guys. The name was "Tsunami". They
developed some very forgettable titles. One of them was
"Blue Force". A sad piece of game design by Mr. Walls.
Tsunami later got folded out.

Is THAT the same Tsunami that did the MOST un-intractable movie ever Silent
Steel? I played it, and the movie is ok, but the structure of the game is
completely missing.

Tsunami did create few interactive movie games. I never
heard about even one good Tsunami title.
