Stella at 20 original production tapes at Archive.org

Yup, it took me 2 weeks! (I suggest treating it like a pod cast and do a bit every day) The first 2 were a bit off topic, the second 2 were painful (too much directing and the featured programmer was not able to find his way past all the nit-picking) After that it got pretty interesting and when they started filming at Nolan's estate (around #13 & #14) I felt like a time-traveler ghost, spying of all of these guys catching up with each other at a private party. The remainder were group sessions that were really entertaining as they all sat around and walked us through the entire story of the Atari VCS and Activision and all of their lessons learned along the way... Well worth slogging through the first few. It's interesting to see how some of the stories you read about in all the published recountings seemed to have slightly morphed over time, but most of the really interesting ones were re-told with a detail or two extra, and a few I never heard before, like how they intentionally mis-marked chips in their products that looked like other more expensive chips that were actually incompatible electronically, just to make reverse engineering them a big headache for their competition, and another one, where they found that they purchased 20,000 '555' timer chips at two times beyond the actual number of chips that actually existed in the world according to their manufacturer (10,000), and found that their staff had pilfered their stock and sold it to companies that were continuing sell them back to Atari in a never ending loop... crazy stuff!)

I hope you get the chance to hear them all, it might be more exciting to start at #13!!!
