This week I will be announcing at least one new LEGEND who will appear at Classic Gaming Expo on August 9th and 10th, ending in a summarized update at the Classic Gaming Expo site (http://www.cgexpo.com).
You can view details on all of the confirmed legends who will be speaking, meeting, greeting, and signing autographs at this year's Classic Gaming Expo , but in this forum I'm going to provide some details about them. Take note of games and items that you might want to bring along for signatures!
Andy Fuchs
Andy left Hyde St. Recording Studios in 1981 to work as a sound designer and software engineer at Atari, where he developed sounds and music for many 2600 and 5200 games. For example, Atari 2600 fans may remember the sounds from Millipede, Obelix, Pengo, or Stargate - all of these were crafted by Fuchs. He also developed several sound editors for the Atari 800, and collaborated on a range of sound, music, and speech software.
After leaving Atari in 1983, Andy worked at The Software Machine, an educational software startup. He created music and sound editing software for the Apple II, Macintosh, and IBM PC; and designed a sound card for coin-op games.
In 1986 Andy moved to Europe and three years later to Australia, where he ran his own business and completed a Master of Information Systems degree. In 1997 he moved back to the Bay Area to work as the lead technical writer at Kabira Technologies, a company producing e-business infrastructure software.
Andy still works as a sound engineer when time and opportunity permit, and teaches sound engineering at Cazadero Performing Arts Camp in the Northern California redwoods.
