Arenafoot Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Of course we see the ever elusive "monogrammed" version of Spacechase done for Leeza Gibbons in this YT clip! Yes this was available back-in-the-day: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacechase BTW, the 10 copies or so of the personalized edition that were actually sold, have the exact label as the regular edition. The only way to tell is to play the game!

Justin Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Nice post. StopDrop&Retro covered Apollo Games and the story of Pat Roper in a recent video he did about the Retro VGS, and attempted to draw comparisons. The story of Apollo Games starts at 6:27
RickR Posted April 2, 2016 Report Posted April 2, 2016 That video is awesome. So many observations: They programmed on Atari 800's with 810 disk drives! Do they actually wear 3 piece suits all the time? Or is that just for the TV interviews? Leeza Gibbons had a much more pronounced accent. Such a manual process in creating the carts! No mention of Racquetball.
