Howard Scott Warshaw left a huge mark on the video game industry! After creating the amazing Yars' Revenge for the Atari 2600, it seemed Howard would become one of the true pioneers of the video game industry... In fact, some people believe he almost single handily went on to destroy the gaming industry with the release of E.T.

Howard shares some amazing stories in his short-lived but hugely influential career in gaming. He gives some truly honest and revealing answers on how one man was blamed for almost grinding the video game industry to a halt. Howard also reflects on working on Indiana Jones games and working with Steven Speilberh and George Lucas.

Howard also reflects on his amazing new book; Once Upon Atari: How I made history by killing an industry.
