Meet the Creator of Centipede!
(screen shot photo courtesy of wikipedia)
Who doesn�t like the game Centipede � fast, furious action in the garden where centipedes and spiders attack you mercilessly as you dodge through toadstools trying to eliminate the unwanted pests. Ever wonder where this game came from, and who created it? Now is your chance to meet the creator of Centipede � Dona Bailey � at the upcoming Harrison .NET User Group meeting on November 3rd, 2009. Not resting on her laurels, Dona has remained busy in the software industry, and will be speaking that night on 3D modeling as well as her experiences at Atari and with creating the game Centipede.

Oh � and did I mention the prize? The User Group will be giving away a Vintage Centipede Arcade Game as the grand prize! Here�s a picture, in case you are curious on how well it will fit in the back of your Ford Festiva:

Very cool. I always liked that game as a kid. I would love to have my own cabinet!

One of my favorite games of all time. I would love to own the cabinet, but the drive from DFW is a bit much. Awesome guest though….

There are some pretty reasonable flights from DFW into the nearby Branson, MO, airport ($99 each way on airtran.com).
If anybody from Dallas does make it, I'll see to it that they get double prize tickets towards the Centipede arcade machine.
