Abstract
[First paragraph] Do you remember playing the Atari 400/800 game "Star Raiders"? Probably not, but for me it pretty much defined my existence in middle school: the obvious Star Wars inspiration, the stereo sound, the (for the time) complex game play, the 3D(-ish) first-person orientation -- this was all ground-breaking stuff for 1979. It, along with games like "Eastern Front (1941)", inspired me at a young age to become a video game developer; an inspiration which did not survive my undergraduate graphics course.
