Career
[ edit ]
Rein first got involved in the video game industry when he got in touch with John Romero , who at that time worked for id Software . Since Rein was a fan of the previous Commander Keen games, Romero got him to playtest the then under development Commander Keen 4 . Rein was then brought in to handle the business side of id as its "probationary president".
He then negotiated a deal with FormGen to publish a retail Commander Keen game, Commander Keen in Aliens Ate My Babysitter . This business relationship with id lasted until Spear of Destiny (which again, he negotiated as a retail version of Wolfenstein 3D ). During the development of Wolfenstein 3D , he was later let go from id after a difference of opinion with the rest of the staff. He was also later joined at Epic by Jay Wilbur, id's ex-business manager, and Rein's involvement in id did mean that he was briefly mentioned in the book Masters of Doom .[6]
