Egsa SoftWorks is the last independent developer & publisher of Video Games (NOT interactive software NOR multimedia experiences -– we make Video Games). We publish for PDA, Desktop & Laptop PC and other devices. A tiny Chicago based, Midwestern, renegade band housed in the ruins of the once mighty American steel industry, we are far from the gleaming coast and the industry's corridors of power.
We are the last children of the age of arcades. We are not alone.
Working here is not quite like Grandma's Boy, but it is close.
Our First Game Was Released in July, 2001. Here is the commercial (archived on YouTube).
Who I'd like to meet: Those that see farther and have accepted the consequences for doing so. Those that want to be different, that enjoy imagination & that may have grown-up but have not forgotten about play and that share a passion about games.
Those regardless of place, rank or stature that are willing to proudly accept the title of "Gamer".

I have won 2nd place in the 2009 Riverside Iowa Trek Fest. I was on the Trek Fest parade float made up as the Bridge from the U.S.S. Enterprise. George Takei "Sulu", Nichelle Nichols "Uhura and Walter Koenig "Chekov" were on the front part of the float. I also helped with the Star Trek convention held at the Riverside Iowa Casino. This the front page of Iowa's The Gazette with a picture of me as Spock with the Horta "Pain, Pain, PAIN!"
"Music is not written in red, white and blue. It is written in the heart's blood of the composer." Nellie Melba "Blood will tell, but often it tells too much." Don Marquis "The thorn from the bush one has planted, nourished and pruned pricks more deeply and draws more blood." Maya Angelou "Which is worse? the wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not." Leo Tolstoy
J. Paul Boehmer guest stars in many Star Trek TV shows. These are my 2 favorite Star Trek TV shows with him in them: Star Trek: Voyager episode "Drone" A transporter accident involving the Doctor's mobile emitter and Seven's nanoprobes results in the creation of a 29th century Borg named One. Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Carbon Creek" A four-Vulcan crew studying Earth from orbit in 1957, where they witness the launch of Sputnik, the planet's first artificial satellite. A mishap with their impulse manifold soon forces the Vulcan craft to make a crash landing in Pennsylvania. The captain is killed and T'Mir, as second-in-command, takes charge. A distress signal is sent, but after more than two weeks no reply is received and the crew's rations run out. With his shipmates slowly starving to death, one of the Vulcans, Mestral, chooses to visit a nearby human town. T'Mir reluctantly accompanies him. T'Mir and Mestral in human disguise:
In Futurama's Bender's Game, George Takei's head and Scott Bakula's head participate in a demolition derby, both flying one-man ships stylized after Star Trek inspired designs: Takei flying a ship reminiscent of the NX class, Bakula flying a ship similar to the cross between the Galaxy-class and the Ambassador-class. During the derby, Takei pulls his ship up alongside Bakula's ship and slams the latter ship into the wall, yelling, "way to kill the franchise, Bakula." Takei then slams into Bakula once more, causing the destruction of Bakula's ship, moments before his own ship is also destroyed in a fiery inferno. George Takei confronts Scott Bakula. Takei takes out Bakula's ship in the demolition derby.
