DragonLord was one of the first developers in America to create games for cell phones, shipping from 2001.[1] DragonLord's original titles Cavern Crawl and Mystic I Ching were licensed by Kyocera and factory-built into the firmware of such cell phones as the Kyocera Model 2235 handset, distributed by Verizon;[2] the S14 Opal, distributed by Cricket and MetroPCS;[3] and the 2255[4] and 2325,[5] distributed by Sprint PCS in America[6] and Virgin Mobile in the UK.[7] The games were noted for providing animation and game play that were ahead of their time.[8]
DragonLord also made multiple versions of Doodler, Race-21, and Tetris, that were built into the factory firmware of various Kyocera handsets through at least 2004.[9][10]
DragonLord's Sequoia Consulting created the software for a humanoid robot for NASA JPL, from April 7, 2006 to June 26, 2006.[11] The robot integrated speech recognition of commands, and speech generation of responses. It used a real-time expert system shell to plan and sequence actions. It used primitive model-based stereo vision to locate and track objects in its environment. It was able to turn, walk over to a spar, squat down, bend over, and pick the spar up, using an arm with no wrist joints.[12]
DragonLord is featured in the book The Fat Man on Game Audio.[13]
