Podcast #512: Interview with Atari 2600 Spider-Man Game Designer Laura Nikolich

Back in 1982 the very first Marvel video game was produced. It was Spider-Man on the Atari 2600. Laura Nikolich worked for Parker Brothers at the time and designed the game. Modern games have movie style credits at the end of them with hundreds of people working on them. Laura’s job was to design it herself and in just a few months. Let’s take a trip back 36 years ago to the beginning of Marvel video games.
