Brian Moriarty

Brian Moriarty built his first computer in the fifth grade. This early experience with digital electronics led him to persue a BA in English at Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth), where he graduated in 1978. His professional career began later that year, when he sold TRS-80 micros at a Radio Shack store in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. After working for a few years as a technical writer at Bose Corporation, he became Technical Editor at ANALOG Computing, the first and largest magazine dedicated to Atari home computer systems. His first published games, Adventure in the 5th Dimension (1983) and Crash Dive! (1984), appeared in the pages of ANALOG.
