http://pweb.netcom.com/~hsw/ouatari.html I have to think it's been mentioned before, but I'm afraid I missed it. Anyone ever see this video (and have an opinion of it)? The site (got there while surfing the new dissembler site) has a number of broken pictures, and due dates for future videos that say things like "Summer 99", but it sounds sort of interesting. Here's the "blurb/tease" > "Once Upon Atari: The Agony And The Ecstasy is a great start to Howard Scott > Warshaw¹s Once Upon Atari video series. It¹s an entertaining, educational, and > most importantly, REAL glimpse of what happened at good ol¹ Atari. The video > focuses on interviews with 2600 VCS programmers like Rob (Night Driver, Demon > Attack, Missile Command) Fulop, Tod (Pac-Man) Frye, Carla (Star Raiders, > Warlords, Indy 500) Meninsky, and Larry (Air-Sea Battle, Kaboom!) Kaplan. > These interviews are at times hilarious (Frye¹s description of how he > programmed 2600 Xevious, Fulop¹s profanity-laden rant in praise of VCS > programmer Rick Maurer), as well as insightful (Ex-Atari Director Of Software > George Kiss¹ regret that he didn¹t write a line of code while at Atari,? and > Fulop¹s description of the job as ³the definition of his life²) ... it is well > worth picking up, as I¹ve watched it about a dozen times in the 2 months since > I got it."
