Howard Scott Warshaw (aka HSW), is an accomplished producer, author, psychotherapist, and former game designer. He designed and programmed the Atari 2600 games Yars' Revenge, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Over the years, E.T. would be blamed for the demise of the video game industry and create an urban legend turned true regarding the disposal of the overproduced cartridge. HSW recently appeared on the HIGH SCORE documentary which aired on Netflix in August 2020 and stars in his own episodic documentary: Once Upon Atari.
