Brad Fregger’s book “Lucky That Way” is his compilation of stories of “seizing the moment while creating the games millions play.” Fregger’s stories come from an impressive background of employment, having worked for video game giants such as Atari and Activision, when the gaming industry was blooming into the giant it is today. The stories contained within this book illustrate his achievements, but most importantly provide a lesson of seizing opportunities and going along with life’s intricacies to achieve great things. Orson Scott Card contributed to the foreword and wrote “I want to be in the place where people like Brad Fregger will give me a new experience from time to time.”

Pitfall II, Shanghai, Solitaire Royal, Ghostbusters, Pharaoh’s Revenge, and Ishido are but a few of the titles Fregger has produced during his time in the industry. Following Fregger through his journey producing for industry giant after another, and then his venture into entrepreneurship with his own company, “Lucky That Way” is like having a conversation with Fregger that is casual, but driven to inspire.

Fregger doesn't chalk his success up to being the greatest man, nor the most experienced, but the most driven individual who takes all opportunities and makes his future. For those familiar with old school video games, this title is a refreshing reminder of all the classic titles played before, and an interesting look at how such titles came to be. This book also carries a message we all can learn from, I enjoyed the stories of production and learned a lesson in seizing the moment.
