This interview took place on April 27, 2016.
Teaser quotes:
"And it said 'What is the Atari 800?' And I saw ... 'It's game machine! It's a personal computer! It's a salami sandwich!'"
"Kind of a sarcastic game. ... The helicopter would spray malathion and people would become deformed. It was really sick!"
