Description

John Ray joined Atari Inc in 1977 as a hardware engineer, learning the ropes with 1978’s Fire-Truck, arguably the first truly co-op arcade game and a distinctive arcade presence due in no small part to his analogue circuitry audio. Ray was also involved with the Atari-licensed versions of Namco’s Dig Dug and Xevious, the awesome arcade version of Tetris and — into the 1990s — the hugely popular San Francisco Rush racing series.
