Each day 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!
Rob Zdybel
One of the most diverse game designers over the past 25 years, Rob Zdybel has crafted his magic on several different systems consistently over the years.
Perhaps his best-known work are the titles he designed or co-designed during his years at Atari. Mr. Zdybel can lay claim to several generations of Atari systems, developing the 8-bit era's Pigs in Space, RealSports Football, Stellar Track and Star Trek: SOS for the Atari 2600, Missile Command for the Atari 5200, and Bug Hunt for the Atari XE.
He also designed the system BIOS for the Atari 5200.
Atari was reborn in the mid-90's and Mr. Zdybel was there for that too, producing the exciting Hover Strike for the Jaguar and the engrossing multi-player Lynx experience that is WarBirds.
In recent years, you'll find Rob Zdybel in the credits as main programmer for the N64 games BattleTanx and BattleTanx: Global Assault, and World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks for PlayStation, all of which he designed during his years with 3DO.
