Doug Neubauer is an American video game designer and programmer perhaps best known for the 1979 video game Star Raiders.[1]
Wanting to create an action-oriented Star Wars, Star Trek-type game, Neubauer designed Star Raiders in around eight to ten months while working for Atari. He reported that it took him six months to reach the highest player level during development.[2]
Neubauer left Atari while Star Raiders was still a prototype to return home to Oregon and join Hewlett-Packard.[2]
