Developer: Preston Stuart

Preston Stuart drew graphics for Atari’s Sesame Street cartridges, made in 1983 with the Children’s Computer Workshop for young children. The site has two of them. In Alpha Beam with Ernie, programmed by Michael Callahan, children match letters to refuel Ernie’s rocket. Oscar’s Trash Race, programmed by Christopher Omarzu and Bruce Williams, asks players to count pieces of trash and send the grouch with the matching number. Both were made for a keypad controller, so read the control notes on each page.
