[edit] Career

Sperry co-founded Westwood Studios with Louis Castle in 1985, when both were in their early 20s.[1]

Sperry has been credited with the roles of design, production, support and box and content. In addition to his work at Westwood, he has been credited on games developed/produced by the following companies: Intelligent Games, Ltd., Walt Disney Feature Animation and Looking Glass Studios.

Before starting Westwood Studios, Sperry worked at Applied Computer Technology in Las Vegas with Peter Filiberti doing game conversions for Activision, Imagic and others. One of his major works was the port of Impossible Mission to the Apple II.

The intro to the first Command & Conquer game consists of an anonymous character flicking through several fictional television channels in quick succession. One of these channels is called "The $perry Financial Network." This is an in-joke at Westwood Studios which made it into the final game.
