Comments

You might recognize Michael Current as the editor of the Atari 8-bit FAQ. I have previously posted about the FAQ. I have also previously posted about Spacewar! which was very inspirational for Nolan Bushnell when he started Atari (initially called Syzygy) as mentioned in the timeline history.
