Dave Akers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Akers is a veteran video game designer. He worked on Burgertime,[1] Bump 'n' Jump,[2] and Star Strike [3] for the Atari 2600, plus the arcade games Klax [4] and Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters.[5] He was also a developer for the M-Network project.

Akers's work on Klax is notable because he wrote the game in just a few weeks using Amiga Basic, then ported it line-by-line to C.[4]
