TDE sits down with Jamie Fenton, the developer of the original multi-game shooter, Gorf. Digging deep into Jamie’s early life and career with Dave Nutting Associates and Midway, we talk transgender issues, Datsun sports cars, Larry Cuba of Star Wars SFX fame, the original US military application of the Gorf flight stick, the ill-fated Robby Roto and the fascinating (yet ultimately aborted) development of Ms.Gorf.
