Marine Aquarium Screensaver
Description
Hi, I'm Jim Sachs (pronounced "Sax"). I've received a large amount of e-mail since I started this site in August of 2000, and many people have asked what kind of background I have had which led up to the creation of the Aquarium. I was born in California in 1949, and grew up in the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles. In college, I concentrated mainly on architecture. After college, I went into the Air Force for 6 years as a pilot, flying C-141 Starlifters. In the early '80s, I got into computers with the Commodore 64, bought some books on 6502 machine language, and began writing games. I've had no actual training in programming, and though I've been forced to do quite a lot of it, the artistic side of computers is what has always captivated me. My current plan is to create a series of 5 screensavers in the SereneScreen series over the next 4 years, then start making movies before I'm too old :)
A fellow named Jeff Palmer runs a web site which displays some more of my old artwork. You can find it HERE.
Saucer Attack for the Commodore 64 was the first game I wrote. I marketed it by mail-order, and had fairly good success with it. Got some great reviews in the C-64 magazines.
