Doug Neubauer

Neubauer earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Oregon State University.

Following the completion of the chip, he began working on a game on wire-wrap development systems that would become Star Raiders (1980); a project that Neubauer said he "just did it for fun".

Neubauer attended a screening of the film, but Jack Tramiel had bought Atari and most of the staff was laid off.

Neubauer described these lay offs as appearing like "the end of video games for Atari"; he joined Imagen, an image processing and laser printer company doing chip and system design.

[7][8] The company asked Neubauer revive his game, now titled Solaris;[5] cousin and comic book artist Randy Emberlin provided art.

[4] In 2007, Henry Lowood, the curator of the History of Science and Technology Collections at Stanford University, created a project to preserve video games.
