Howard Scott Warshaw

First of all, we should give some caveats on where these numbers come from.

There is a documentary done by former Atari programmer Howard Scott Warshaw called Once Upon Atari.

He talked to a lot of his colleagues and told the story of classic Atari in this time period.

During one of the interviews in that documentary, there is, just as a graphic, there is in the background a blowup of a document, an internal Atari Corporation document.

So we're talking about Jack Tramiel Atari, an Atari Corporation document that belonged to former Atari artist and good friend of Howard Scott Warshaw, Jerome Domurat, if that's how he pronounces his name, D-O-M-U-R-A-T, or pronounced because he has sadly passed on.

This document, which is only partially visible, it's not entirely visible, is a sales ranking of all Atari VCS games from 1980 through probably about 1990, with yearly sales figures and aggregate sales figures for all of these games.

This is just up on the screen as a background.

Thank you very much, Ethan Johnson, friend of the show.

Atari releases Yars' Revenge, and it was probably one of the most popular Atari games.

It was released for the Atari 2600, and it was created by Howard Scott Warshaw.

Yars' Revenge was Atari's best-selling original

title.
