GameDaily has caught up with Midway Games' John Romero for a quick chat regarding everything from the industry in general to his new role at Midway. Here's something to nibble on:

GD: Can you talk about what role you play today at Midway Games?
JR: My title is Creative Director of Internal Studio, San Diego. I'm part of studio management so I know a lot of what's happening on the corporate level, but my main tasks involve Gauntlet. When I started here, I became the Team Lead and Lead Designer on Gauntlet until I could fill the design role with Josh Sawyer. I've been very busy with hiring for the past year and we've built an amazing dev team here in San Diego. I was also doing some design work on one of the locations in Gauntlet and now I'm involved in programming. It's great to be able to do a lot of things here and this company is becoming more powerful than you can ever imagine.
