MIT Game Lab lecture on Ms. Pac Man origins

So if you have an hour and a half to kill, it is a pretty interesting talk. Not sure if any new information is revealed, but fun to hear about the design side of things and how General Computer started with arcade mods.

This was brilliant! Thank You!
I've just finished Atari Inc. :Business is Fun by Marty Goldberg and Curt Vendel.  The situation with GCC and Atari starts around chapter 11.  I say around, because the book really isn't an easy read, it jumps around a lot.  Nonetheless, it was still pretty good and had a lot of good behind the scenes info from some original Atari employees.  I must say that I really did like the lecture, and getting to see where some of the GCC founders ended up after the heyday of the arcade was great.

Thanks,

yeah, seeing the evolution of the Ms. Pac character and how they demo'd the scrolling in Jr. Pac was pretty neat.
