Last fall, Josh Renaud gave a presentation to the Atlanta Historical Computing Society about rescuing and researching cartoonist Ya'akov Kirschen's unique computer games and software.

In the 1980s, Kirschen managed to get splashy publicity for several of his projects, but none of it was commercially successful, and after several decades it was mostly forgotten and lost.

This AHCS talk gets into Kirschen's history, the making of the games, and highlights some unique Atlanta connections to the games.
