Steve Barcia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve Barcia is a game programmer, game producer and entrepreneur, having founded the computer game developer Simtex Studios Inc. in 1988. The company released computer games such as Master of Magic, Master of Orion and Master of Orion II. Simtex went out of business in 1997. Following a corporate takeover in May 2000, Nintendo of America bought Retro Studios. Steve Barcia was elected to replace the founder and then-president Jeff Spangenberg.
Many former Retro employees had alleged Barcia's mismanagement of the company was one of their primary reasons for leaving Simtex. Barcia was replaced by Michael Kelbaugh following an owner's meeting in April 2003.
