Biography of Daniel Berry
Daniel Berry, an American computer game developer, was born on February 19, 1949, and passed away on July 3, 1998. He gained fame in 1983 for releasing the popular game "M.U.L.E.".
Early Life and Education
Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and later moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. In 1974, he received a higher education degree and began dedicating himself to programming. Initially, creating computer games was just a hobby for Berry, but after achieving good results, he started actively pursuing a career in this field.
Career and Accomplishments
One of Berry's earliest games was "Wheeler Dealers," which was sold at an auction held by Speakeasy Software. After several successful games, Berry founded his own company called "Ozark Softscape," which focused on software development and game creation. This growing company caught the attention of the computer giant "Electronic Arts." Together, these companies developed the game "M.U.L.E.", which later became one of the most popular computer games of its time.
Berry's next major project was the game "Civilization", followed by "Heart of Africa" in 1985. In 1988, he delighted gaming enthusiasts with the project "Modem Wars", which allowed users to play through modem connections. This game introduced many innovations to the computer world, as Berry used cutting-edge developments of that time.
Personal Life
While Berry achieved enormous success in the computer world, his personal life had its challenges. After an unsuccessful marriage, he became interested in intimate relationships with both men and women. In November 1992, he underwent gender reassignment surgery.
In the late 1990s, Berry transitioned to the internet and began developing programs for online games, including "Warsport". In 1998, doctors diagnosed him with lung cancer. Unfortunately, Berry could not overcome this serious illness and passed away on July 3, 1998.
Legacy
The games created by Daniel Berry were not always commercially successful projects, but they were always in demand and enjoyed popularity among users. The internet version of "M.U.L.E." became one of Berry's most popular projects.
