The TDE Podcast Ep 30: Atari Engineer Dave Sherman
Episode 30 of the Ted Dabney Experience podcast is available now for your listening pleasure!
If you enjoy reading ArcadeBlogger.com, you’ll love the other project I’m involved with:
Dave Sherman joined Atari shortly prior to Nolan Bushnell’s departure and was at the company through its precipitous near-collapse and subsequent restructuring during the infamous market crash of ’83 and ’84. Sherman worked alongside Dave Theurer on iconic such as I, Robot and Missile Command, and shares many an anecdote about those early days, including soundly beating Bushnell at his own predilection, the strategy board game, Go. After Atari, Dave engineered a dual-purpose CAD system, generating fluid, texture-mapped polygon graphics for videogame application a good eight years before Sony ruled the roost with the Playstation.
