It's David Crane holding a Post Mortem for Pitfall on this years GDC, put on youtube in it's entire by Gamespot.

Really interesting to hear his takes on what you actually had to do to program games on that era's hardware, and his opinions on the games market crash.

Everyone interested in 80s era gaming and / or programming in general should watch.

Very interesting!
Thank you for posting that link!

That was a good game, but I personally better remember the Genesis version from years later. I think I've probably still got a copy of the Atari version around here somewhere.

Amazing stuff. Thanks for posting.
