After EA
Budge left the game industry to semi-retirement in the mid-1980s in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In the 1990s, Budge ported Pinball Construction Set (under the title Virtual Pinball) to the Sega Genesis, one of the hottest platforms at the time.
Shortly afterward, Budge went to go work for 3DO, creating a 3D engine for Bladeforce. He remained with the company for nine years until its demise in 2003. Budge returned to EA but stayed for less than two years. He joined Sony Computer Entertainment in 2004 as Lead Tools Programmer. Budge left Sony after six years for Google in 2010.
