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!'"
