Warren Robinett, the veteran programmer, designer and The Learning Company founder known for his groundbreaking game design work at Atari, TLC and NASA, has given at GDC 2015 a Classic Game Postmortem lecture on the creation of his hit 1979 game Adventure for the Atari 2600 console.
‘Adventure’ also contained one of the earliest known “Easter eggs” ever hidden in a game – a hidden screen revealing Robinett’s name and authorship at a time when Atari was unwilling to publicly credit game makers for their work.
Gamasutra has published an article about the postmortem that is worth reading. Hopefully we will be able to watch the video when it becomes available at GDCVault.
