On this 8th #AtariNewsline #Developer #Spotlight, the focus is on #GamesbyApollo (aka #Apollo), who brought 10 #games to the market for the #Atari2600 from 1981-82 then suddenly vanished. They developed games such as #FinalApproach, #SpaceCavern, #SharkAttack, #Infiltrate, #SpaceChase, #LostLuggage & more! Why did they vanish? + The first #female #game #pioneer is born w/ #Wabbit & the first female player in a video game! (Predating Samas Aran in Metroid by 10 years)! We take a look at Van Mai, and the long search for her & what’s she’s up to currently. Also, I take a look at some #gamehistory with the help of @thelairdslair and his awesome videos about the company. Let’s play some #games, too, fresh from my #XpressO game review series. Then, let’s analyze.
