Remember the great games of the early 1980s? Back when 8-bits were more than enough, “Pac-Man Fever” was a top 10 hit, and the Atari 2600 was the system of choice, there were some fantastic games that still draw raves and bring on a flood of nostalgia: Star Raiders, Choplifter, M.U.L.E., Battlezone, and Pinball Construction Set, to name a few. We spent 18 months tracking down the authors of games from the “golden age” to get the lowdown on their creation. How did they get started? Where did they get the ideas? How did they manage 3-D graphics on a 1MHz computer? Where are they now?
Featuring an introduction by id software co-founder John Romero (Doom, Quake), Halcyon Days is a gold mine of information and nostalgia, of joy and bitterness. And the programmers aren't just all the big names everyone knows; also included are the personalities behind games like Spindizzy, Alternate Reality, Fort Apocalypse, and
ElektraGlide. Many of these people have never been interviewed before. You'll be overwhelmed, stay up all night, and drag the 2600 out of the closet in the morning.
“When I finished my version of 'Pong,' it was kind of a magical moment for me. It was night, and I turned the lights off in my apartment and watched the trailing of the ball on the phosphors of my eighty dollar black and white TV.” –Bill Budge (Pinball Construction Set)
Halcyon Days is available in a modern digital format, readable with any web browser (you don't need to be connected to the Internet to read it).
