It began by producing titles for 8-bit computers, including Beach-Head, The Dictator Strikes Back, Raid over Moscow and many others. CareerAfter Carver published Beach Head and Raid over Moscow, Compute! in 1985 called him one of "the world's best computer game designers" and a peer of Chris Crawford, Bill Budge, and Dan Bunten.[1] With his brother Roger, he created the influential Links golf game series, beginning with Leader Board and World Class Leader Board. The Links games defined golf video games and simulations. In 1997, PC Gamer named him one of the "Gods of Gaming".[2] Access was sold to Microsoft in 1999 and, as a result, several people were let go. Carver paid generous golden parachutes to several of these people out of his own pocket.[2] He continued to work on games until 2003 when he left to create a construction company, Carver Homes, and collaborate with other former Access employees in the golf simulator company TruGolf. He was most active with his construction company, which built award-winning luxury houses to order.[2] The homes were often outfitted with the TruGolf system. Family and deathOn December 28, 2005, Carver unexpectedly died of cancer.[2] His funeral was held in Salt Lake City, Utah.[2] References1. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue57/computer_game.html | title=Birth of a Computer Game | work=Compute! | date=February 1985 | accessdate=6 October 2013 | author=Darling, Sharon | pages=48}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 Obituary: Bruce Carver {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110215081706/http://www.next-gen.biz/features/obituary-bruce-carver |date=February 15, 2011 }} from Edge Online External links
