Starting in the late 1970s, there was an unprecedented and never repeated boom in the arcades. This Golden Age of the Arcade was unique, and not just because of the extreme originality of the games. The teams were very small, many times with just one person handling art, design, and programming. These largely unknown and uncredited individuals faced the challenges of short time schedules, truly primitive technology and daunting project cancellation rates and yet often succeeded in creating unforgettable play experiences. A panel of Golden Age creators, including those responsible for the some of the greatest all-time arcade hits, discuss the unique aspects of these times, and their relevance to game creation today.
