Game Maker, having co-founded Dynamix (sold to Sierra/VIvendi) and GarageGames (sold to IAC), where I was involved in making a bunch of games like The Incredible Machine, Trophy Bass, and game making products like Torque Game Builder. Now I am involved in a new company called Push Button Labs (more info soon).
My wife, Colleen, and I have four kids, Heidi, Aaron, Jonathan, and Allison. Four kids and two major businesses (with others on the side) have kept us happily busy. Recently, we have acquired nearly 200 acres of land and will be starting Furrer Farms.
For hobbies, I ride motorcycles (street and dirt), do Olympic Weight Lifting, snowboard, and play in a band, The Procrastinators.

Hi Jeff,
It’s cool to hear that you are a musician as well. I am a drummer from San Diego, Ca. Well the reason I am contacting you is about “The Incredible Machine.” I grew up playing that game and loved every minute of it. Well back to the reason for the message. I have an idea for that game and would love to share it with you. Please email me if you are interested.
Thanks
Kory, San Diego, CA

hi jeff i love johnny castaway he is so funny i love the way he breaks the coconut and eats it and his funny ways of surviving on a desert island, i remember him on windows version 3.1 and ihave found him ever so funny ever since, my boyfriend finds him annoying because when he tries to play his computer games johnny keeps pausing his game so he has to start all overagain and he threatened to delete johnny if i didn’t set the timing for him to come on in 60 minutes so that it would not interfer with his gaming time. i was wondering would you be able to make a high definition version of johnny castaway? it’s just that with modern technology changing and and the fact that johnny was created for windows version 3.1 and only this evening my boyfriend and i discovered that johnny would not work without a mouse andthat when a mouse was installed he worked brilliantly much to my boyfriend’s annoyance.i understand you are busy playing your guitar in your pop group and i realise there are so many people outhere who support your work and the last thing on your mind is creating an updated version of johnny castaway considering you have moved on to other projects but because johnny is so popular and well loved by millions of people the world over i would like to make this request if you have any plans in the near future to re-create johnny castaway for 2009?
thanks very much for taking the time to read this blog and if there is anyone else who would share my opinion about the screen antics johnny castaway being updated for 2009?
thank you
