Additionally, James, a dentist by day and an arcade enthusiast all the rest of the time runs FLYNN'S RETROCADE in Utah. As you may have already heard, our favorite arcade in the country, Grinkers, sadly shut its doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve, its proprietor, ended up working with ALAN-1's James who is now the lucky owner of Grinkers' entire collection. Tune in for this one.

YES! IT'S THE SEASON PREMIER OF RCADERADIO! And for our first guest, we've got none other than Doug Macrae! You saw him on the Netflix documentary HIGH SCORE. He's the former MIT alum who founded GCC, creator of SUPER MISSILE ATTACK and CRAZY OTTO (Ms. Pac-Man), and an avid geocache hunter! Doug joins us on November 5th, 2020 at 7:15pm central to talk about operating arcade and pinball at MIT, founding General Computer Corporation, lawsuits, and a gender change for a game that would end up being one of the top earners of the Golden Age. Set your reminder and TUNE IN! -=-=-=- Doug Macrae was born on January 18, 1959 in Summit, New Jersey. He has been married to Julie Ann Macrae since September 28, 1997. He's got a cool license plate. In 1981, he, along with John Tylko, and Kevin Curran formed General Computer Corporation (GCC). GCC was sued for their creation of Super Missile Attack by ATARI. In addition to their work on Super Missile Attack, the team--along with Steve Golson, developed "Crazy Otto", an upgrade to Pac-Man that would eventually come to be known as Ms. Pac-Man. Later, GCC would come become a printer company and develop computer peripherals. (Not necessarily in that order.) Fun fact: Doug Macrae named the fourth ghost in Ms. Pacman after his sister, Sue.
