George Edward "Ed" Logg (born 1948)[1] is a retired American arcade video game designer, first employed at Atari, Inc.[2] and later at Atari Games.[3] He currently resides in San Jose, California.[4] He was educated at University of California, Berkeley and also attended Stanford University.[5][6]
Career
Logg was impressed with the Atari 2600 (then known as "Atari Video Computer System") and joined Atari's coin-op division and worked on Dirt Bike, which was never released due to an unsuccessful field test. He co-developed with Ed Rotberg Super Breakout after hearing that Nolan Bushnell, co-founder of Atari, wanted Breakout updated.[1] He co-developed the video game Asteroids with Lyle Rains.[7] Other games designed or co-designed by Logg include Centipede, Millipede, the Gauntlet series (with inspiration from John Palevich's Dandy), Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey and the home versions of the San Francisco Rush series.[8][9]
Legacy
In 2011, Logg was awarded a Pioneer Award by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences for being among those who "laid the foundations of the multi-billion dollar videogame industry."[1][10] Logg was listed at number 43 in IGNTemplate:'s top 100 game creators of all time.[11]
