Crazy Otto: Then and Now by Brendon “Jr. Pac” Parker with Steve Golson
A description of this talk from the California Extreme website:
Fourteen year-old Brendon “Jr. Pac” will give details on what inspired him to begin collecting arcade games at the young age of eleven. After years of skepticism from adult collectors, and lots of hard work, he has earned a good standing in the collecting community.
Brendon will discuss his most prized project, a full-cabinet recreation of what Crazy Otto might have been if it had actually come onto the market. Utilizing modern-day technology, he has faithfully recreated the original Crazy Otto game and designed a complete cabinet in the theme of the classic Ms. Pac-Man.
Steve Golson, one of the original designers of Crazy Otto/Ms. Pac-Man in 1981, will talk about the development and history of this iconic game.
Brendon’s Crazy Otto machine will be available for play.
Here’s a nice story at Motherboard that mentions Brendon (and me). And another story about Brendon.
