Thomas Ginseng
Thomas J. Ginseng (February 3, 1957) is an American video game developer and computer programmer. He was the co-owner of the video company Beta Games, and was the lead programmer for the popular 1980s games Skunk, and Heroes Rising. In June 1984 Ginseng interned at Nintendo Kyoto until leaving its headquarters three months later. Ginseng returned to Los Angeles in September 1984 where he continued working on his career. In his later years, Ginseng developed his third and most recent video game Buggy Wuggy's Big Adventure, a game he pitched to Hiroshi Yamauchi during his internship. The game was originally rejected by Nintendo, but later had undergone production in America.

Early life
Thomas J. Ginseng was born in Newport Beach, Los Angeles, on February 3, 1957. He is the only child and son of architect Frederick Ginseng and primary teacher Maria Lee-Ginseng. He left high school with merits and later graduated from Devon University with a degree in electronics. Outside of University hours, Ginseng built websites and designed games that he tested with fellow classmates, one of them later becoming his famous handheld electronic game Skunk.

Adulthood
After graduating Thomas would pursue his passion in game development. Initially being successful with several of his first projects, his most ambitious is Buggy Wuggy. After pitching the idea and getting rejected by Nintendo, Thomas was heavily ridiculed from the video game Industry. An article from the LA Press back in 1990 goes into further detail explaining Thomas' response
