When someone works for over ten years on the same project, well their portfolio tends to not have a lot in it. With all of 3D Realms let go with the studio's closure, there are plenty of artists looking for a job now, and most of them have a portfolio filled with Duke Nukem Forever goodies.
Be warned, readers. I am torn about whether or not I should even write this article. I like to tie in my weekly columns with new game releases, or movies, as you may have noticed. Digging through the Co-Optimus database, only the new D-A-C game and an older Trek game I hadn't played turned up. Since I prefer to have actually played the games I write about, I had to look elsewhere. Imagine my surprise when I rediscovered an arcade lightgun shooter based on Star Trek Voyager after a quick Google search. I had totally forgotten I had ever played it, which didn't bode well. Perhaps it was not the best choice for Co-Op Classics, perhaps, but hey, sometimes you just have to boldly go.
