Jon Valesh Interview




{Krazy Kreatures & Toobin}
Jon's three main games, P"Radikus Conflict, Operation Secret Storm, and the unreleased Happy Camper.


This was my very first interview done. It was with Jon Valesh, cool dude who made Operation Secret Storm, Happy Camper, and P'Radikus Conflict. Although dated, it still reads okay. Enjoy.

TWZ: What made you decide to work at Color Dreams?

JV: It was there, and so was I. They thought they could make money, and I thought I could get some of it. We were both wrong.

TWZ: What was it like working there?

JV: It was interesting...some of the folks there were about as intelligent as anyone you will come across, believe it or not.

TWZ: What games did you make?

JV: I worked on several, but was primarily responsible for Operation Secret Storm and Happy Camper...I did graphics for P'Radikus, and programming for Pesterminator, and a little bit of alot of things on many of the other games.

TWZ: Who else worked there?

JV: A bunch of people...too many to list

TWZ: When did you quit working at Color Dreams?

JV: I quit before Operation Secret Storm was released.

TWZ: What is left of Color Dreams today?

JV: Color Dreams is still in business, making digital camera systems under the name StarDot Technologies. If you open a StarDot camera, you will see a (c) Color Dreams message on the circuit board.
