In this interview, we discuss George Morrison of Alpha Systems, and Peter Langston of LucasArts, both of whom I have previously interviewed. Anthony also created the software for Parrot, a $40 4-bit sound sampler and playback package that was marketed by Alpha Systems. Anthony programmed Creepy Caverns, a type-in BASIC game that was published in Antic magazine's August 1984 issue. Scott and Lefty on Dannysday TV show Lefty BASIC program and media mentions Paper about Lefty (in Spanish) Scott Savage Techno Scavenger YouTube channel Omniplex is now called Science Museum Oklahoma This interview on YouTubeĪnthony Ramos: Parrot, Creepy Caverns Anthony Dandrea is better known to Atari computer enthusiasts as Anthony Ramos. This interview took place on April 14, 2022. Also, be sure to watch the only known video of Lefty in action: Scott and Lefty appeared on the TV show 'Dannysday' which aired on KOCO TV in spring 1984. Both the Lefty program and those articles are available at Internet Archive. Scott also provided scans of several newspaper and magazine articles about Lefty.

The tape had some problems, but Atari community member 'atarigrub' successfully recovered the data. Before the interview, Scott digitized his Atari cassette tape with the code for Lefty. Lefty was programmed by Scott Savage, the subject of today's interview. Lefty's game logic ran on an Atari 800 computer, which controlled the robot through the joystick port. The robot arm would play games of checkers against museum visitors, picking up and moving pieces on a physical checkerboard. Scott Savage: Lefty, the Checkers Playing Robot 'Lefty' was the name of the world's first checker-playing robot, which was located at the Omniplex science museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
