Atari Adventure Square Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 This fascinating article from Ars Technica talks about the inception of Ms Pac-Man from the technical side of things. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/03/post-mortem-ms-pac-man-diablo-dissected-by-their-original-devs/ Great pics of Crazy Otto concepts and fly-on-the-wall talk of chips, boards and the legal hammer bearing down on the imitative approach to creating the next arade hit. Also goes into Diablo which, as a 'young' 20-year-old game, fits the neo-retro category. And also makes me feel hella old. Hope you enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 It should be noted that these "MIT dropouts" created the Atari 7800 and many great tiles for the 2600, 5200, and 7800. Atari should have bought GCC and brought them in-house. They put Atari's home cartridge team to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
