Bob Bytchin Posted May 23, 2001 Share Posted May 23, 2001 I've seen many Atari/Activision names all over the software scene. Want to check out someone that has been around, and has been co-founder of many companies, check out Trip Hawkins. That guy has gotten around, and is still an innovator to this day.
