... And be very afraid. I came across this while doing research on a programmer that founded Llamasoft. I remember playing one of their games called Attack of the Mutant Llamas. It was nothing more then a rip off from the Atari title "Empire Strikes Back", which in tern was a rip off from Defender. Only instead of AT-ATs you were taking down giant Llamas. Now that's original!
Anyways, Jeff Minter has posted on his site old footage of a game convention from the 80's. Yeah, its scary. And amazing to think, if it wasn't for these guys, gaming may have never become what it is today. Check out the 80 year old "booth babe". Yep, those were the days, when it wasn't cool to be a geek. Enjoy.
