Developer: Bill Aspromonte

Bill Aspromonte programmed Atari 2600 games for Atari and for 20th Century Fox’s game label. The site lists three Atari cartridges with his name on them. He programmed Stargate, the conversion of the Williams arcade sequel to Defender, which uses two joysticks at once: one to fly and one for the special weapons. The same game was later sold again as Defender II. On Pigs in Space (1983), the three-game cartridge based on The Muppet Show, he wrote the Pastaroids game. He also made Bank Heist for Fox.
