Dona Bailey Interview - Centipede & Atari Legend

Recommended Posts

Nice interview, thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

 

Dona Bailey programmed an excellent game and it's one of my wife's favorites. We both play it at our local arcade and at home. The 7800 TB version is a constant in our rotation.

Hey OP, how about starting a few more threads on this? The peeps in the Lynx and Jaguar forums probably need to see it.

I have a friend who knows Ed Logg who was the project manager on Centipede. She's one of the people who worked on it, but hardly it's sole creator as is often reported.

Ed Logg said once during an Atari Coin-Op Panel discussion at CGE that half the Centipede code was his and half the code was hers, and that while the graphics and colors and other things were designed by her, the actual game design was his. He did say that she had a lot of input and that he had no problem giving her credit for Centipede because, in his words, "I've got enough stuff." Presumably, he means that Centipede is only one of the many games in his extensive portfolio, but (as far as I know) it is the only one that Dona Bailey was ever credited for, although she apparently worked at Videa and other game companies.

That's a bit more generous than what he told my friend but who knows.
