Retro Game Spotlight 069: Cosmic Ark (1982)

Publisher: Imagic Platform: Atari 2600 Designer: Rob Fulop Box Art: Michael Becker, Wilfredo Aguilar

Trivia: Ostensibly a sequel to Imagic's Atlantis, Cosmic Ark had two versions released, one of which allowed the player to toggle the starfield display with the B&W/Color switch.

A major consideration when making full-motion video (FMV) enabled games such as Night Trap was the need to keep resolution small in order to allow for compressed video to be stored on the game disc. As such, while many components of the game’s UI are redundant or larger than necessary, this works in the game’s favor by allowing the above, while also remaining thematically appropriate to the larger experience by making it seem like a diegetic command console rather than an overlay.

Retro Game Spotlight 023: Demon Attack (1982)

Publisher: Imagic Platform: Atari 2600 Designer: Rob Fulop Box Art: Michael Becker

Trivia: Two different versions of Demon Attack exist. The original version ends after the 84th wave, as programmer Rob Fulop did not expect anyone to "wrap" the game. Later releases changed this so that the game plays indefinitely.

You combine 'anal' with 'silly,' you'll find a good video game designer.
