PacManPlus #1 Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Guys: JonnyBritish did a little interview with me and put it on Microsoft's site to promote Windows Phone development. As some of you may know, I ported Super Circus AtariAge to the Windows Phone 7 platform. There's even a shout out to AtariAge there. It's funny; I was originally asked not to mention Atari by name, so I was dancing around any time I was about to mention AtariAge or any body on there - and then he does http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/From-retro-game-programming-to-modern-day-Windows-Phone-7-development I just want to say that I was VERY nervous, and that if I was off on any facts it's because my mind goes blank when I'm in that mode.

Stun Runner 87 #11 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Congrats to PacmanPlus. Great interview. Keep up the good work. I like the little article under the video where the writer says that Bobs games put the old 7800 games to shame. I immediatly thought of a comment I made on a thread here where I stated that if Bob was in charge of the 7800 game production in the 1980s, that they would have been more successful in competing with Nintendo and Sega...................Bob, you are a talented individual................................................................................................................................................ P.S, can I have your autographed signature on the BentlyBear cart when your done? It will raise the value significantly...........after all, you are famous. Can't wait tot see what you do next.

bikeguychicago #17 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Bob, Any chance you'll make Balloon Pop available for Windows 10 (when released) to increase the possible audience for the game? Edited May 11, 2015 by bikeguychicago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PacManPlus #18 Posted May 12, 2015 I don't think so - only because Microsoft abandoned the framework used to make this game Thanks, Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
