Nutting Associates and Dave Nutting Associates were two different video games companies that should not be confused.
Nutting Associates was founded in the late 1960s by Bill Nutting and went bankrupt in 1973. The company was responsible for developing Bushnell's Computer Space, the first coin-operated video game ever.
Dave Nutting Associates was founded in 1974 right after Nutting Associates went out of business. It was founded by Bill Nutting's own brother Dave Nutting. Dave Nutting Associates worked with Midway for many of their releases, notably the Gun Fight arcade game as well as the Astrocade home computer. At some point, Dave Nutting Associates even went on being acquired by Bally before being disbanded when the video market crashed. As I'm writting this discussion thread (February 19th 2006), there is no article on Wikipedia about Dave Nutting Associates.
