A little late... My PAX EAST ACAM video with Will Wheaton, Crazy Otto & Zelda chicks!

I am a lot late posting this, but it's still cool none the less.

In this narrated video tour of the ACAM exhibit at PAX EAST you'll see Will Wheaton (Stand By Me, Star Trek, and internet celebrity), Crazy Otto (Ms. Pac-Man before it was Ms. Pac-Man), the developers of Food Fight, Quantum and Crazy Otto, random nerds, some chicks dressed as zelda characters from the Windwaker, and more.

Enjoy!

Cool video.
A solid selection of games there.
I played that leprechaun at funspot. I wouldn't mind having one.
 
Never knew the Atari programmers made Ms. Pac-Man....

I think they (General Computer Corp.) were mainly outside contractors and maybe not necessarily employees of Atari. Someone please correct me if I am understanding it incorrectly.
 
Was wondering, since it was released by Bally/Midway and not Atari...

Looks like they mainly served Atari and only did the one for Midway:

GCC made arcade games for Atari, such as Food Fight, Quantum and the unreleased Nightmare. They also produced many Atari 2600 cartridges, including the 2600 versions of Ms. Pac-Man and Centipede. They also produced over half of the Atari 5200 cartridges. They did the chip design for the Atari 7800 and the first round of cartridges for that base unit.
In 1984 the company changed directio
 
GCC was an outside contractor. The story is a long one but we are supposed to get a copy of the audio from the hour long GCC discussion panel Mike Stulir hosted for the museum in the Wyvern Theater at PAX East. The GCC folks explained how the company started and how they became involved with Atari and then Midway. It's a great story.

The coin-op titles GCC designed were Super Missile Attack (Atari), Quantum (Atari), Food Fight (Atari), Ms. Pac Man (Midway), Jr. Pac Man (Midway).
