Howard is the MAN!! a great guy and a great friend. A credit to his industry!

[Goldiney]

He was given 6 weeks to write the game, you stupid fucking retard. If you want to blame anyone, blame Atari. His other games were great; and so would have been E.T. if he did not have such ridiculous time constraints.

@Choachito how can he be a credit to his industry if he was the reason for its downfall?

[ZeusDeusEx]

This guy is made of awesome. Yars Revenge is THE perfect video game. Gameplay, graphics, and audio he nailed it perfectly. To this day, when I connect and the screen explodes I pump my fist. It is just that engaging.

I'd like to know what it was like, making a game when it felt more like a school project than a job project, if you know what I mean.

He must not have "Dumb down" the games for you????
