David Crane Interview and Seminar

[tta583]

Hi All,

 

Long time member but, admittedly, I have not posted here in ages. A few years back I transitioned over to video arcades then, eventually, started to add pinball. That said, I do still have my Atari collection so my roots are solid.

 

Fast Forward a few years and I am co-host of The Brokentoken Classic Arcade and Pinball Podcast.

At a recent show, The Louisville Arcade Expo, we had the opportunity to record a seminar hosted by Activision co-founder David Crane. My co-host Whitney is also an Atari console collector and huge Activision fan so, despite not being “arcade” it was still a no brainer to capture the seminar, and a 1 on 1 interview, for the show.

 

Hopefully everyone will enjoy them! Mr Crane tells some interesting stories, talks behind the scenes of Activision, and gives us a look into how the awesome Activison catalog was created/coded.

 

YouTube Video of the seminar. We had a sound feed right out of the PA so the sound is excellent.
