A2600 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Doug Neubauer for Solaris and the design for Star Raiders eventhough Carla Meninsky programmed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 2600 Star Raiders is a piece of gum stuck on the shoes of the computer version. Retains almost nothing of what made the original great. Bleah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Doug Neubauer. For Super Football if for nothing else. Amazing what he made the 2600 do on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kripto Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 David Crane gets my vote for getting the most direct play-value from the 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriana Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It's a toss-up between David Crane and Doug Neubauer. David Crane's games are much-beloved (Pitfall, Pitfall II, Freeway, etc.) but he also had some real stinkers (Slot Machine, Laser Blast, Dragster) early in his career. Doug Neubauer really pushed the limits of the 2600 (Solaris, Radar Lock, Super Football) but his games aren't as well known because they were released after the 2600's heyday was already past. But even his earlier games (Alien, Megaforce, M*A*S*H) aren't anywhere NEAR as bad as David Cranes's early games. As much as I think Pitfall was groundbreaking, if this is about the GREATEST Atari 2600 programmer, I'd have to give the edge to Doug Neubauer. He did some amazing sh*t that in 1980 would have seemed impossible to do on a 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Hi there! Doug Neubauer really pushed the limits of the 2600 (Solaris, Radar Lock, Super Football) but his games aren't as well known because they were released after the 2600's heyday was already past. But even his earlier games (Alien, Megaforce, M*A*S*H) aren't anywhere NEAR as bad as David Cranes's early games. Wow! He did Alien as well? If I hadn't already voted for him, I'd definitely have to now! Doug is the man, yes! BTW: Does anyone know who did 2600 Battlezone? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I have Star Raiders for my 800 computer It was a good concept though (for the time being) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
