Reading Jordan's full diary will take you at least eight hours but it is well worth it. It is one of the best stories of making a game, runaway success when success wasn't runaway, determination (not to get screwed legally/financially) out there. About ambition and leaping the artistic gap into film making when being a hit game maker was not enough. Jordan wrote POP in 6502 Assembler and he writes well (with off-hand notes - oh a royalty check for $65k - time to go to class) and inside observations, sometimes about his life. > We chatted for an hour about peripherally related topics. Broderbund, corporate America, the rat race, capitalism, freedom. I was seducing him. At the critical psychological moment, I remarked: "You know, all my clipping is done on the byte boundaries."
