Howard
Scott Warshaw came to Silicon Valley in 1979, where after a brief stint as
a network designer for Hewlett Packard, shifted his career focus entirely
and joined Atari. There he produced Yar's Revenge (Atari's biggest
selling original game), Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T.,
the game that New Media magazine described as having toppled a billion
dollar industry.
After Atari, Mr. Warshaw went on to a variety of endeavors including Real Estate brokerage, professional photography and videography, industrial robotics, and teaching. He has authored and published two books, and has produced two documentaries for PBS. He is currently working on his series Once Upon ATARI, which chronicles the exploits, intrigues, and atmosphere of Atari in the early days of video games. Visit his home page at onceuponatari.com.
