Any of you this guy?? Milwaukee Journal Article??

Great article. I have to comment on -

"His favorite is Tempest, the first color vector game, which featured then-state-of-the-art (now-primitive) geometric-shaped graphics."

I know it's 30+ yrs old, but the graphics on Tempest don't strike me as primitive, as there's no need to dress up those vectors much. When I think primitive, I think more like Atari Football or Video Pinball.
 
I work for the fed gov't for the Vets Administration. The facility I work at does a monthly newspaper/newsletter and they did a little article about me. An editor at the Journal Sentinel saw it and wanted to do an article & video for the paper/website... and a couple months later they came over and... well, there I am. Pretty cool, today The Onion's AVClub just posted a blurb about it online.

I didn't come here and post it up because... well, there's dudes here that have home arcades that are just amazing. And I haven't even remodeled the basement yet. Still in phase 1 down there I guess.

Haha! Arcade envy I call that, happens to me too! :D
 
This made me LOL.
"he practically gyrated when he found out it was the Gyruss from that Aladdin's Castle."
You kids and your sexual euphamisms.
 
I know a guy in Chicago that saw my games last time he was in town, and he just forwarded the article to me. You're totally famous.
