In 1958, Tennis for Two was built on an analog computer — just to entertain visitors at a research lab.

It wasn’t commercial.
It wasn’t strategic.
It was playful.

And it became history.

"Wabbit" (Atari 2600) featured one of the first female protagonists in console gaming.

Its creator, Van Mai, was miscredited for decades due to a name error.

The historical record was later corrected.

I’m starting to publish a long-form writing project I’ve been circling for nearly 25 years.

My career in games spans more than 40 years, but this focuses on the first decade. That early stretch has enough failure, luck, pressure, and momentum to stand on its own as a book.

The posts are free to read, published chapter by chapter. Paid subscriptions are optional and support the work and a possible print edition.

First chapter goes live on Monday. Link soon.
