Background

Jim Dramis, a 32-year-old programmer with Texas Instruments, is no the kind of person who you'd picture as a whiz-band arcade game designer. As a former high school math teacher and insurance agent, the mild-mannered Dramis was far removed from the fantasy world of space ships, lasers, racing cars, and hungry video creatures.
