They demoed the game at CES and received interest from Skip Paul, former Chairman of Atari's Coin-Op division and then head of the new Universal Interactive Studios. Rings of Power still has a cult following today.Īfter much persuasion from Hawkins, Rubin and Gavin took a leap of faith and started designing Way of the Warrior, which was heavily inspired by Mortal Kombat, for the 3DO console.
The game began as a PC title, but during meetings at Electronic Arts Gavin spotted a reverse engineered Sega Genesis, pitched a slightly modified version of the title to Trip Hawkins, and the title became the duo's first console game. While Gavin was an undergraduate in Haverford College and Rubin was attending the University of Michigan, they collaborated with each other on their next title: a role-playing game called Rings of Power. In 1989, Rubin and Gavin sold their first game to Electronic Arts: a role-playing game called Keef the Thief. Later that year, they published their first game together - a budgetware title called Ski Crazed. Rubin and Andy Gavin formed Naughty Dog in 1986.
