Editing Sandy Petersen (section)

==Video Games==
Petersen's earliest [[/v/]]-related work consists of involvement in several Microprose games: Darklands, Hyperspeed, Lightspeed, Sid Meier's Pirates! and Sword of the Samurai, as well as making minor contributions to [[Civilization]]. 

He joined Id Software due to his interest in [[Wolfenstein]] 3D, doing so 10 weeks before the December 1993 release of [[Doom]]; he is credited with creating 19 levels for Doom 1, 15 levels for Doom 2, and 7 levels for the spiritual successor [[Quake]], as well as influencing some of the monster design in these games. In June 1997, he moved on to Ensemble Studios, where he became a designer for several of their Age of Empires titles, specifically Rise of Rome, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion. He was a frequent poster on the Heavengames forums under the username ES_Sandyman. He ran an extremely popular series of threads, "Ask Sandyman", where forum-goers could ask him about anything they wanted (though there were some questions he did not answer).
