As noted in Kenn Hoekstra's .plan, today is the 11th anniversary of Raven Software, a group that should feel justifiable pride for the success that they've found in a difficult business after their humble origins. Here's a bit from the update on the subject:

All this talk of Quake's five-year anniversary reminded me that this Sunday is Raven Software's eleven-year anniversary! In 1990, five men and one computer in a basement started Raven Software with a vision: to create an RPG for the Amiga. That game was Black Crypt. Eleven years and fourteen titles later, Raven Software has expanded to more than 50 employees and is working on not one, but three game titles.
Pretty cool stuff...

Congrats to Brian and Steve Raffel and all of the "old timers" who've been here longer than I have. I'm looking forward to the next eleven years.

On a related note, there's a Kenn Hoekstra Interview on JediKNight II.Net discussing Raven's history as part of their extensive Raven Day celebration.
