I'm going to announce the industry legends we've confirmed attendance for at this year's Classic Gaming Expo at the Classic Gaming Expo site (http://www.cgexpo.com), but in this forum I'm going to detail them so you can take note of which games and items that you might want to bring along for signatures!
Jim Huether
Jim Huether's bibliography reads much like a classic gaming primer, as it contains a great number of "required" gaming experiences mixed with bunches of "staples" that any retro gamer worth his salt should have cut his or her teeth on.
In the late 1970's and early 80's, Jim designed a plethora of titles for various Atari systems, including some unreleased games that make for some interesting history. Among these, the Atari 2600 classics Flag Capture and Sky Diver. He designed Steeplechase, which became a Sears exclusive, and is also credited with the co-design of RealSports Volleyball and an unreleased football game. He's responsible for the sheer joy that is RealSports Football and Xevious on the Atari 5200 SuperSystem and even has an unreleased Atari 8-bit computer game called Micro Movie.
Jim has since been with other publishers, including Epyx and Sega. You'll find his name in the credits of such games as The Sporting News Baseball, California Games II, the StreetSports series, Cartoon Maker, Joe Montana Football, Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse - and many more - as a designer or producer of a vast library of games.
