At age 15 I wrote a pacman clone for the Atari ST and was both impressed by and jealous of Minter's Llamatron for the same platform. My game was 30Hz only rarely, usually degrading to 15Hz, and you could really feel it in the gameplay. Llamatron was always fast (always 60hz?) -- because that's just how Jeff rolls. Respect.

On the plus side, my crappy pacman clone was good enough to convince Andy Gavin to (years later) bring me on as the first developer hire at Naughty Dog. The system works! (I guess?)
