ANTIC Interview 324 - Geoffrey Card, kid game reviewer - a podcast by Randy Kindig, Kay Savetz, Brad Arnold

 

In my interview with Orson Scott Card, he mentioned that his son, Geoffrey, helped him review Atari games — thoroughly playing games, then providing a sort of executive summary for his dad, who then wrote about the games for Compute! magazine. I thought it would be fun to get Geoffrey's perspective about that time.

 

This interview took place on January 19, 2018.

 

Teaser quote: "One of the interesting, great things about that era was the fact that somebody could sit there in their garage and they could make something, and it really was indistinguishable from what the professionals were making."
