Great Read: Donkey Kong and Me

Posted on March 10, 2008 by The Retroist

I just read a great article over at Dadhacker.com about the conversion of Donkey Kong for Atari. Its a real interesting look at an important era in the gaming industry and captures both the optimism and chaos of the work. As a former game industry employee, I found that this article really hit close to home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
