+Psionic Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I missed it when it was first released but if anyone has some serious time to kill, the Computer History Museum did a very long (3+ hours) interview with programmer and eventual Furby designer David Hampton back in 2019, where he talks about his life and career. https://youtu.be/7U9eqBzmvZw A little over an hour into it, he discusses working on Raft Rider and Q*bert for the Atari 2600 at Western Technologies. He also briefly mentions involvement with an unreleased (arcade?) game project called Q*bert Circus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Absolutely. I listened to the whole interview while doing some work on something else. What a brilliant, interesting, and down-to-earth guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
