Her work is everlasting and had a profound impact on me when I first saw a Mac Plus in 1988.

The black and white icons are still more provocative than all over produced stuff we see now IMO.

It's an interview with Carol Shaw, the woman who created one of my fave games 'River Raid' and apparently the first female game developer!

Funny I always thought that Carol Shaw was a guy! (Like Carol O Conner) but then I haven't thought about river raid since I was 16 I think.

I think about it loads!

It really did spark my imagination when I was a little sheep!
