HISTORY |
As told by Dan Sunday, Tim Skelly, & Charles Williams |
|
The history of Cinematronics has been documented and retold by several people. As my interests primarily lie in the “vector era” of the company, I have decided to include the company’s history as seen through the eyes of three former employees from that time period. Of course the company did produce games before and after, most notably laserdisc based arcades such as Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace.
Dan Sunday was the first former employee to publicly discuss his involvement with the company. Dan’s history was somewhat brief and he principally worked with Larry Rosenthal at Vectorbeam. DAN SUNDAY HISTORY
Tim Skelly of Rip Off, Reactor (Gottlieb), etc. fame later provided a different version of events at both companies. This is often the version most people see and seems to be the most comprehensive, thus, I added several contemporary pictures to the story.
After updating these pages a bit in 2008, I was contacted by Charles Williams, another former employee. Charles had read Tim’s history and felt compelled to add to it. CHARLES WILLIAMS ADDENDUM
I think having the views and memories of three former associates, all from different areas, adds to the overall picture of what was Cinematronics.
