Article on Bill Budge, of Pinball Construction Set fame
An author named Jimmy Maher has an amazing website where he does original research and articles on the early days of computer games. I can't say enough good things about his site (The Digital Antiquarian). Jimmy is a huge text adventure fan like me, but he doesn't limit his articles to just one genre of old computer game.
He recently did one on Bill Budge, who created the Pinball Construction Set for Electronic Arts in 1983. I hope you find this article as interesting as I did.
