Description

Peter Liepa, Boulder Dash
 
Peter Liepa was co-creator and programmer of Boulder Dash and Boulder Dash 2 for the Atari computers. Boulder Dash was published by First Star Software in 1984 and is regarded as a seminal game for the Atari 8-bit machines.

Teaser quotes:
“I sat there playing these games and the idea of ‘I can do this’ or ‘I can build one of these’ welled up in my head.”
 
“All of the pleasure of this project was in developing the game. I got very little pleasure out of the business aspect of it.”
