Michael Katz was a video games pioneer during the 80s. He worked for Mattel as marketing director, Coleco as vice president of marketing, President of Epyx, President of Video Games division Atari, and President of Sega of America where he oversaw the launch of the Sega Genesis. His stories were pretty amazing and I hope you all Enjoy the interview.
Book I referenced was “The Ultimate History of Video Games” by Steve Kent
