In addition to his practice as a civil (traffic) engineer, Michael Tedesco has created a number of games over the years, starting with IN OTHER WORDS(R) in the 1980s. Together with collaborators, he also created SPORTS CARD TRADER, which was licensed but never produced, and MARKET MANIA(tm), a buying-and-selling game that is still waiting for a home.
In the 1990s he and his collaborators also obtained a license FROM Hasbro to produce specialized, limited editions of Trivial Pursuit, but none were created due to an issue that arose to fund the venture.
He was also commissioned to create 800 questions for the Canadian version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
As a licensing agent, he has shown many toys and games created by other inventors to majors in the toy industry including TableLinks(tm) golf table game, regarded as the most realistic version of golf ever, but that is still looking for a home and a novel toy that for which a license offer from a toy company was given, but the inventor turned it down.
He has also created a number of touch-screen games that are available for license for Apps such as WALLS(tm), CONNECT SQUARES(tm), and VICIOUS SNAKES & LADDERS.
In recent years his focus has been finding and representing as an agent "cool tech" with applications to the toy industry such as highly directional -- laser-like -- speakers; 3D image technology that floats in empty space and 9v battery-powered electrostatic adhesion that sticks anything to it.
