TCW Podcast Episode 034 -The Nutting Associates
We go into the murky history of Nutting Associates. This company's founding, and a large part of its history is still unclear due to the lack of proper documentation along with contradictory evidence and testimony. We look at how Nutting is more than just Computer Space, and by association Nolan Bushnell. Though Nutting Associates did not survive past the 70's it still had some influence in the arcade industry and paved the way for advancements that came later on.
