Developer: Dave Staugas

Dave Staugas was a programmer at Atari. In 1984 he brought the arcade sequel Millipede to the 2600, with graphics by Jerome Domurat. It used a 16K cartridge, large for the console, and Staugas hid a personal message in its code. The outside company GCC made a version too, but Atari released its own. He also wrote Krull (1983), based on the fantasy film of the same name.
