However, Elfman wasn't always a distanced fan of the game industry. "There was a point in my own life where I was going to arcades in Venice, California all the time," he says. "I got so involved with these machines; it'd make your head spin. As a result, these days, I actually like recreations that don't involve and flashing lights or loud music. Surfing the Internet is about as much excitement as I can handle."
Despite that, Elfman is pleased with his contribution to Fable. "It was definitely easier than expected," he says. "I didn't encounter any pitfalls, even though I thought some might arise. Working on Fable was a lot nicer than working on a commercial too -- advertisers are a pain in the ass to deal with. The guys at Lionhead were charming by comparison."
