| Charles Johnson Interview |
The game Spiritual Warfare, which Charles worked on
Exodus, Charles' favorite Color Dreams game.

This was probably one of the hardest interviews I did so far. Charles Johnson's name appeared as Charles J. in the games he did, so I couldn't do a search for his whole name. I had heard that Charles was teaching C++ classes in Texas so I began my search there. At this point, some of the other workers told me that his last name was Johnson so this narrowed down my search. I found a site that I thought he might have done, but I wasn't too certain. I e-mailed him for this was the closest match I could find, and guess what, it was the same dude who worked at Color Dreams. Enjoy the interview.
TWZ: What games did you work on? What was your favorite Color Dreams game?
CJ: I always like Exodus best, even though I only worked on Spiritual Warfare.
TWZ: Did you use NinDraw?
CJ: I've never heard of NinDraw. If I used it I didn't know it.
TWZ: If you have anything of your own you would like to tell me besides what I asked above, well then go for it.
CJ: I had a good time working there. Became pretty good friends with both Jim and Vance. I had known Vance originally and it was through him that I came to Color Dreams.
TWZ: Thanks for answering these questions.
CJ: No problem. Have a great day.
I then asked Charles about my Spiritual Warfare prototype, and this is what he had to say:
