    No Mutants Allowed have interviewed the head and founder of Troika, Tim Cain. They talk about his part in Fallout development, his life before and a little bit about his current time at Troika. Here's a snip:

    Tell us a little about yourself, what have you accomplished in life?

    I grew up in Virginia and worked at a small computer game company there while I was in high school. I went to college at the University of Virginia and then came to California to go to graduate school. I received a Master’s Degree in Computer Science at the University of California at Irvine, but I decided I wanted to make computer games again. I started at Interplay in 1991 and left to form my own company, Troika Games, in 1998.

    What are your favourite computer games/board games and why?

    I think Star Control 2 is my favourite computer game. It’s so stylish and rich in humour, and I like the free form exploration that the game allowed.

    I have been playing a lot of board games recently, and while I really like Puerto Rico, my all time favourite board game is Lord of the Rings. It’s wonderfully balanced and captures the spirit of the books so well. Plus, in a five-player game, someone has to play Fatty.
