Subject: [stella] Atari Video From: Dan Boris <dan.boris@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Aug 1997 08:38:03 -0400 |
I don't know if anyone has posted this yet (I have not seen it), Howard Scott Warshaw, author of Yars Revenge, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, etc. is doing a documetary seires about Atari called "Once Upon Atari". The first video "The Agony & the Ecstasy" is available now and talks about the proccess of writing games at Atari back in late 70's early 80's, epecially games for the 2600. It has interviews with a number of the programmers from that time such as Larry Kaplan, Tod Frye, and of course Howard himself. I bought a copy of this tape and I enjoyed it. It's a little pricy for a 28 minute tape, but I think anyone who is into programming the 2600 will really get a kick out of it.
