ThatAtomCat's Blog - Met the one of the writers for Atari's Origina

[RSS Bot]

Just met Gerry Conway, the man who co-wrote Atari's original Swordquest series for DC and creator of the Punisher. I asked him about working on the unreleased Air World comic and he told me they never got far beyond a basic plot sadly and couldn't recall how the story would have ended. He did tell me about the process of writing a comic based on games though. He was invited to Atari's Sunnyvale HQ several times to test play and even take home many games for the VCS in order to get a feel for the direction and tone the comic should take. He even told me the story of how he was a tester for Tempest.
