Avram Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Does anyone know what happened to the coder Bill Halsall? He wrote a large number of type-in listing games for Page 6/New Atari User magazine, all in machine code. I’ve searched online but could not find any interviews or other information. Here’s what atarimania lists him as the author of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Now here is a name that is a blast from the past. Sorry, no idea what happened to him. If you find out, see of he knows what happened to Les and Sandy Ellingham! I miss them, they'd be pretty old now if they are still alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted January 20 Author Share Posted January 20 Thanks, Snicklin. You have seen Paul Rixon’s Page 6 website, haven’t you? What amazed me was how prolific Halsall was and the variety of the titles he created, all of which could be typed into your Atari every couple of months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace dribbler and the Roadhhogs, one of Bill's type-ins, has just recalled fond memories! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avram Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 He came up with such interesting titles. I think Mouse Party was the first game of his that I typed in. It’s a really fun 4-player game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
