As far as I know the only games that could be called his are Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Deus Ex. So that's one excellent game and two okay innovative at the time but horribly aged games.


Just how fucking stupid are you?

Spector earned a bachelor's in Speech from Northwestern, a master's in Radio-TV-Film from University of Texas, and was just shy of completing his doctorate in Communication in 1983. During those early years, Spector worked on a variety of board games and choose-your-own-adventure books and novels, first with Steve Jackson Games where he rose to editor-in-chief before moving to TSR in 1987 (best known for the hit game "Dungeons and Dragons").

In 1989 Spector joined ORIGIN Systems, a developer and publisher of online interactive entertainment. There he co-produced Ultima VI and Wing Commander and producing Ultima Underworld 1 and 2, Ultima VII: Serpent Isle, System Shock, Wings of Glory, Bad Blood, Martian Dreams and others. In 1997, after a year serving as general manager of Looking Glass Studios and producer on Thief: The Dark Project, Spector started Ion Storm Austin. He was project director on Ion's award-winning action/RPG, Deus Ex, published in June 2000 and reissued in a 2001 Game of the Year edition and, in 2002, as Deus Ex: The Conspiracy on PS2. As Studio Director, he oversaw development of Deus Ex: Invisible War, released in December 2003, and the recently released Thief: Deadly Shadows.">Spector earned a bachelor's in Speech from Northwestern, a master's in Radio-TV-Film from University of Texas, and was just shy of completing his doctorate in Communication in 1983.

So I signed on with Looking Glass, worked briefly on Thief: The Dark Project (though my impact on that title was, at best, minimal)


Okay so that's a couple choose your own adventure books, a 15 year old space sim and role playing game, two innovative but clunky FPS's plus one good one, and a bunch of crap.
