I have to admit, I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for the good ol’ 8-bit days. My first computer was an Atari 800, and I had the greatest time learning how to program BASIC and assembly language, inspired by all the great games I played on that system.
For all of you nostalgic souls out there that haven’t yet found The Giant List of Classic Game Programmers, click your way to retro-Mecca now. Just don’t blame me should you forget to return from your pilgrimage. Look up your favorite oldies, find out who programmed/designed them, then see what else they created. You might be surprised about the connections you uncover.
When I get a chance, I’ll post about the list’s revelation that literally stunned me. It’s not anything I would expect to shock anyone else, and it probably reveals more about me than about the list, but hopefully you’ll enjoy reading about it anyway…
Until then…Happy time-hoppin’…
