VIDEOGAMES

I have been passionate about video games and their creation since their early appearances in the 1980s.
Over the years, I have contributed to numerous video game productions with renowned companies such as Simulmondo, Rainbow, and Ivanovich Games.
My experience in the field of video game creation and production even led me to win the prestigious Bologna New Media Prize in 1997.
Here, you can explore some of the exciting projects I’ve been involved in throughout my career.

LARIOS WATERVOLLEY SIMULATOR

For several years Larios, the company that produce its famous ‘gin’, sponsored every summer a Watervolley Tournament.

Watervolley is a sport like beach volleyball but played in pool of water.

During the days of the tournament Larios also organised many parties in major cities of Spain (Ibiza, Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, etc.)

Larios asked me to design and develop a promotional videogame based on the Watervolley Tournament, that to be shown on giant screens during Larios Parties.

TOMMY & OSCAR: THE PHANTOM OF THE THEATRE

In 1995, I created the concept and characters of Tommy & Oscar , which made its first appearance in the CD-ROM Tommy & Oscar: The Phantom of the Theatre , produced by the Italian animation studio Rainbow S.p.A.

This CD-ROM achieved great success worldwide, particularly in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, and has been translated into over 20 languages.

The main character, Oscar, is an extraterrestrial who feeds on music notes, and the entire CD-ROM is designed as a fun way to teach the basics of music theory to children.

Tommy & Oscar: The Phantom of the Theatre contains over an hour of animation and features a new graphic engine developed specifically for this product.

It also includes nine musical video games created by me, including “Music Keyboard.” This feature provides a small keyboard that can be applied to the computer keyboard, turning the PC into a real musical instrument with rhythmic loops and drum sounds.

In 1997, Tommy & Oscar: The Phantom of the Theatre won the prestigious international award, the Bologna NewMedia Prize, and was recognized by the American magazine Children’s Software Revue as the best interactive product for children’s music education.

Due to the immense worldwide success of Tommy & Oscar: The Phantom of the Theatre, Rainbow S.p.A. collaborated with RAI - Radio Televisione Italiana in 1998 to produce a TV series consisting of 26 episodes featuring the same characters. The Tommy & Oscar TV series has been broadcast by over 40 international TV stations, achieving significant success, especially in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

The popularity of the characters of Tommy & Oscar is also due to a strong marketing and merchandising operation: dolls, toys, books, clothing, etc.

The popularity of Tommy & Oscar is also supported by a strong marketing and merchandising campaign, which includes dolls, toys, books, clothing, and more. In recent years, a second TV series of 26 episodes has been produced by Rainbow, along with home videos, DVDs, video games, magazines, and a feature film titled “Tommy & Oscar: The Movie”.

In 2008, I won a lengthy legal battle against Rainbow S.p.A. for the recognition of my authorship of the concept and characters of Tommy & Oscar.

TOMMY & OSCAR: MISSION MUSIC!

In 1998, while simultaneously working on the first Tommy & Oscar TV series, the Rainbow animation studio decided to create a second CD-ROM.

For this new multimedia project, I developed the concept and interactive script for Tommy & Oscar: Mission Music! .

This CD-ROM features a powerful new graphic engine and includes various music games that I created.

Tommy & Oscar: Mission Music! contains over an hour of cartoon animation, with a script that I wrote and later adapted for an episode of the Tommy & Oscar TV series (the episode titled “Mission Music!”).

The CD-ROM has been translated into over 20 languages and has achieved significant success in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
