ANTIC Interview 74 - Ron Milner, Atari Engineer at Cyan Engineering
from ANTIC The Atari 8-bit Podcast
This is an interview episode of Antic, the Atari 8-bit podcast. I’m Randy Kindig and in this interview I sat down with one of the members of the core design team at Cyan Engineering for such projects as the Atari 2600 and the 8-bit computers, Mr. Ron Milner. Ron is currently President of Applied Design Laboratories, but from 1973-1984, as an employee of Atari Inc, he worked at the Grass Valley Think Tank (also known as Cyan Engineering) where they did some amazing stuff, as you’ll hear in this interview. Ron was involved in many pivotal technologies in video games and home computers and was co-inventor of the Atari 2600 video game system. This interview took place on May 16, 2015. Teaser Quotes “Our group worked on just a lot of other projects relating to the home computer line.” “You know, it didn’t have to work, but if it looked like it might we looked into it.” “This is Ron Milner and I was one of the early Atari engineers at Atari’s secret think tank in the mountains pioneering many of the projects with my associates and you’re listening to the Antic podcast.” Links Ron’s Web Site Atari's Cyan Engineering - Splendor in the Grass documentary
