Listen "ANTIC Interview 160 - Chuck Mullally, Mastermatch"
Episode Synopsis
Chuck Mullally, Mastermatch
Chuck Mullally published one game through Atari Program Exchange: Mastermatch, game similar to the Mastermind board game. Mastermatch was one of the last APX programs to be released: it was first available in the Winter 1983-1984 APX catalog — the final APX catalog. Chuck told me that the game won a $1000 prize from APX, but the catalog — a sparse 8 pages and much smaller than the previous APX catalogs — doesn’t even mention that.
This interview took place on January 31, 2016.
