Abstract

Firaxis Games is a game geek's Shangri-La. The company's office takes up the top floor of a high-rise in Hunt Valley, Maryland and hosts a team of designers, artists, sound technicians, and producers who put together, as the company slogan goes, "Games That Stand the Test of Time," a design principle that comes from one of the company's founders, the gaming great and creator of the celebrated Civilization series, Sid Meier. Meier sits behind his office door like the godfather of computer gaming, working on what is currently described only as a "secret project."
