We Have Moved!
Yes, the site has been moved to the Atari Historical Society's servers. Most of you probably never noticed the change. Thanks to Curt Vendel for the space and for making us a part of his great collection of pages. Also, please take note of the email change. I can now be reached at owen@orubin.com.

Radio Show Quote Added
The Source ran a radio show in early 1982 about the movie Tron and video games, and I was asked to quote about what makes a good arcade video game great. You can hear the portion of the show where I made my comment here or click the link in the menu at the left. If you wish to hear the entire show, visit Tronfan.com and click the Tron Radio Special-1982 graphics link.

The Who It's Hard Page Added
Happy Holiday's everyone! I've been extremely swamped with work and the holidays, so I haven't been able to update the site as much lately. I've added a couple more letters to the Mailbag page, and I've also added a page for The Who's album It's Hard, which featured one of my games on the cover. Click the picture of the cover at the left to check it out. Once work eases up a bit, I promise more stories and updates will be forthcoming! Happy New Year!!

Visitor Mail Section Added
I have added a visitor mail section to the site. You can check it out here.
I appreciate all of the kind comments and am pleased to answer your questions. I can't guarantee that every message will be added to the page, as a lot of times people will ask similar questions, but I will add those that don't address something that I have already answered.
You can send questions/comments/etc to owen@orubin.com. Keep them coming!

The story of Cannonball posted:
We have a new request- the story of my very first game, Cannonball. Created in 1976 where I was one of the first programmers to join Atari. I had no idea on Atari's game creation process, so I made it up. Ok, not the right way, but the game did ship! Have a look, click here.
