The ATARI Years

Imagesource: Unknown Author - Wikipedia

Chris Crawford is a game designer and programmer who should be familiar to some. Chris was responsible for a number of Atari, Mac and C64 games, particularly in the 80s.

Remarkably, his website, which dates back to 1996, can already be considered retro. But Chris keeps publishing small masterpieces, even if he rather enjoys his free time nowadays.

In his essay The ATARI Years Chris goes through his memories of the 80s, the collapsing video game industry, and the subsequent, somewhat more conservative rebuilding.

Quite interesting, definitely reading material for a few quiet minutes.
