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.

Thanks for the link; interesting read! I remember spending many an hour trying to copy various pin's that were out at the time.
 
Wow, just threw me back 30 years. Isn't it amazing sometimes when something from so long ago is instantly clear in your head and you haven't thought about since decades ago?
