For those that might be interested, two classic videogame names that you
hear from time to time showed up in Next Generation Magazine this month.
Leonard Herman, author of Phoenix: The Fall & Rise of Videogames, has a
correspondence in the Letters section and he mentions an Atari 2600 game
author, Rob Fulop. I didn't recognize the other names there, but perhaps
they too were in the game scene back in the 2600 days and I just don't know
them.
Anyway, there is also a neat piece in the Retro section about the technology
used in the arcade game based on the the band Journey which I guess it what
became Journey Escape on the 2600.
Perhaps someone will find this interesting.
