I appreciate the fact that technology and games are a big part of life.

'Grand Theft Auto', in its deification of antisocial behavior, is where I heap the most of my scorn.

I think 'Something Ventured' is a nice piece because it celebrates venture capital in a unique and powerful way.

Being successful is kind of dull.

People hate to and will not read instructions.

I believe that in games, when you're talking about pitting my wits and my brain against your wits and your brain, that simplicity of the game becomes a dominant factor.

Atari always was a technology-driven company, and we were very keen on keeping the technological edge on everything. There's a whole bunch of things that we innovated. We made the first computer that did stamps or sprites, we did screen-mapping for the very first time, and a lot of stuff like that. We had some of the most sophisticated sound-creating systems, and were instrumental in MIDI.
