JOHN CALHOUN (SOFTWARE DEVELOPER)

'John Calhoun' is an Apple Macintosh software developer. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he developed a series of shareware games (Glider, Glypha, etc.) for the Macintosh and Windows, under the name Soft Dorothy Software. ^[1] He initially published his own games, but later published through Casady & Greene.
His most famous creations are the ''Glider'' series: ''Glider'', ''Glider 4.0'', and ''Glider PRO''. In addition, he created the shareware games ''Glypha III'', ''Stella Obscura'', ''MacTuberling'', and commercial games ''Pararena'' and ''Spaceway 2000'' (co-written with Jeff Robbin), and an Apple Newton game, ''Silicon Casino''.
After the bankruptcy of Casady & Greene in 2003, Calhoun released Glider PRO as freeware on his personal website. ^[2]
Calhoun has since joined Apple Macintosh's programming team. Calhoun cited poor financial returns on games outside the ''Glider'' series as his primary reason for leaving the game development field. ^[3]
