Bruce Shelley is an industry legend. Helped Sid Meier make Civilization, created Age of Empires, then joined Ensemble. Now, though, Ensemble are gone. And Shelley is trying to explain why that happened.
Ensemble Studios is being shuttered. The studio’s Bruce Shelley leaves us with one last (and bittersweet) blog post.
Bruce Shelley – the nice man who helped bring you Civilisation, Railway Tycoon, Age of Empires and other classics – is to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall Of Fame.
Shelly got his big break working with Sid Meier at Microprose – culminating in the production of Civilisation, which has eaten up so much of my time that I should probably go along to the ceremony at the 2009 D.I.C.E. Summit (February 18th in Las Vegas) and either thank him personally or serve him with a writ.
Does anyone know if there is an actual Hall of Fame – as in an actual building? Do inductees get to hang out there and sip cocktails? All this and less is revealed in the full press release, after the jump.
