Some leftover interview material of mine, with Steve Wozniak, has been published on Gamasutra. It's a little outside what HG101 usually covers, but if you have an interest in the work of Steve Wozniak, early years of Apple, or the creation of BASIC, you should really enjoy the article. It even documents some unreleased Apple II hardware! Check it out HERE.

Basic History of BASIC - Dr Kurtz, David Ahl, John Lutz, Steve Wozniak
Crikey, I've left this a long time to post. If you're in the industry and receive Game Developer Magazine, maybe you noticed in the above issue my article on the origin of the Beginners All-purpose Standard Instruction Code programming language. I interviewed Dr Thomas Kurtz who co-created BASIC, along with David Ahl who wrote the million selling 101 BASIC Computer Games book which helped popularised the language, John Lutz who was head of the True BASIC company, and also Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who created Integer BASIC for the first Apple computers. I even spoke with Marc-Oliver Ihm on Yabasic for the Sony's PlayStation 2. Due to space not everything could be used - below you'll find my leftover materials covering "10 Things touched by BASIC" and "10 BASIC Dialects", with interview quotes!
