About Jim Tilander
Ever since I got my first computer, a Commodore 64, I've been interested in games. After the first few games were thoroughly played, I started to look into programming in Basic. After a little detour where I thought that astronomy was what I would do I slipped back into games development after my Master's Degree and been working ever since in the industry. I've worked in various capacities in a couple of different companies such as Digital Illusions, High Moon Studios and Lucasarts. I currently work at Sony Santa Monica.
The games I've worked on include:
- Darkwatch (PS2, Xbox) (2005).
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (PS2, Xbox) (2005).
- Midtown Madness 3 (Xbox) (2003).
Life is not all work and no play, on my spare time I try to improve my golf handicap, find that music vein that I hope is buried somewhere so that I could play a full tune on my guitars and improve my poker play.
Of course I also play video games. My favorite game though is not some new game with amazing graphics, no the game that lies closest to my heart is the Taito game Bubble Bobble. I first played it on my C64, then the arcade version and the Amiga version. Still to this day I think it's a great game that have truly held the test of time. If you have been living a closet for the last couple of years, this is a definite classic that needs to be checked out. Barring finding a console version of the game, check out this cool clone of the game. And yes, my phone has the game music as the ring signal.
I very much appreciate feedback on these pages, anything really, you can get in touch with me through my email. Feel free to drop me a line!
