Atari’s Mike Jang

Saw over at Tony's blog some sad news that Mike Jang has passed away. To say he was involved in some classics would be an offensive understatement.

A really nice post with a great deal of photos of classic arcade history.

Finally found a few minutes to read the blog post. I didn't know he was behind the design of the Star Wars cockpit cab and the Starfighter cab seen in The Last Starfighter.

Yep, he took the game element to the next level with his cabinet designs.

Form followed function as much as possible.

I saw the news about Mike Jang on Tony's blog. It's really sad to hear. Mike was involved in some true classics in the arcade world. The post on Arcade Blogger with all those photos really brings back memories of Atari's golden era.
