Brad Stewart programmed early Atari 2600 games at Atari and later moved to Imagic. At Atari he wrote Breakout (1978), the paddle-and-bricks game that became one of the console’s best-selling cartridges, and worked with Bob Smith on Asteroids (1981), which swapped the arcade’s glowing vector lines for solid, colourful rocks.
At Imagic he created Fire Fighter (1982), in which you rescue a man trapped in a burning warehouse against the clock. He also programmed Sky Patrol, a balloon game shown at the 1982 CES but never finished; it was the only Imagic 2600 game that did not come out, and the surviving prototype is playable but incomplete.
All four of his games are below, and you can play them in your browser.
