Description

Mike Potter: Protector II, Shadow World, Nautilus, Chicken
Mike Potter ported several Apple II games to the Atari 8-bit computers
for Crystalware, including Protector. He later developed five programs
for Synapse Software: Protector, Protector II, Chicken, Nautilus and
Shadow World — in a one year period, with the combined sales of 93,000
copies.
 
In this interview we discuss Steve Hales and Ihor Wolosenko, both of
whom I previously interviewed. This interview took place October 22,
2015.
 
Teaser quote:
"Let's see, I got married in '84, and my brother-in-law had every
single one of my games pirated. And I was like, 'What? You have all my
games!'"
