Up until the early 1990s, Atari Games was considered one of the most creative developers of arcade games, including titles such as Marble Madness, Gauntlet, Rampart and Paperboy, as well as Breakout, which was developed under the leadership of later Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. There will also be interviews and interesting background information from developers and contemporary witnesses.
