Cybergoth Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 From the Winter Games Interview: Chris: I assembled the various events after the others wrote the code and play tested their events. The only event I worked on was ?Speed Skating? as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. I do not recall after 20 years who all helped, or what events everyone did. Maybe RTM could grill the ex Epyx people (Jon Freeman, Jim Connelley). RTM: We?d love to. If anyone knows how to reach them, let us know. We wonder what event was your favorite, and which one you were the best at? Both Jon Freeman and Jim Connelley left Epyx long before Winter Games. Another programmer that worked on the C64 version was Richard Ditton who ran Action Graphics back then with his wife. Action Graphics later turned into "Incredible Technologies". They still exist and Richard can still be reached there. They are the last active U.S. Arcade manufacturer these days it seems, probably still doing Golden Tee machines. I assume other programmers of the C64 version may have been Tim Skelly and Dave Thiel, since not only they are credited for the Amiga version, but also for the C64 version of Championship Wrestling. Action Graphics also did other stuff for Epyx, like "Snow Strike" or the Coleco version of Pitstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
