Ian Livingstone is Creative Director at Eidos and a pioneering legend of interactive entertainment. In 1975 he co-founded Games Workshop Ltd and launched Dungeons & Dragons in Europe. In 1982, again with Steve Jackson, he devised Fighting Fantasy, the series of interactive gamebooks that sold over 15 million copies in 23 languages. At Eidos - the UK's leading developer and publisher of video games - he has helped to secure many of the company's major franchises including Tomb Raider, Championship Manager and Hitman. The Tomb Raider series developed into a hugely successful media franchise including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the highest grossing film based on a video game. He was awarded an OBE in 2006 for his contribution to the Computer Games Industry. |
