Hi Charles, Yes. James North was very much an inovater and driving force in this comunity a few years ago. His games like ESP Pinball was the first accessible pinball game, Monkey Business was the first FPS game for the blind, DinoMan was a cool rendition of Pacman, Aliens In the Outback was a cool Space invaders style game, and he created allot of fun and enjoyable games that are still well liked today. It's not completely accurate to say he created worthless games. Yes, it is true Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge were far from his earlier works, but perhaps if he had taken more time with them and completed them they might have turned out as good as his earlier projects. We will never know though, because he quit in March 2006.
