Robert Morgan is an American software engineer and former Sega Technical Institute technology director and lead programmer.[1] Hired by Rod Nakamoto at the California-based Interactive Designs in 1990, he was later brought into Sega after the studio was purchased by Sega of America in 1992. After a roughly two-year stint at Accolade, Morgan returned to the company as the technology direction of Sega Technical Institute, where he would contribute to a number of titles in the mid 1990's - particularly the infamously-cancelled Sonic X-treme.
Morgan was married to freelance illustrator and fellow Sega Technical Institute member Betty Cunningham.[2]
Career
In early 1996, Robert Morgan co-founded two game development studios: Point of View and Captivation Digital Laboratories. The former specialized in game design and development, while the latter focused on the technologies used to build and run games.
