According to some searches and the filename of a copy of the ROM I happen to have, the developer name appears to be Gary Shannon.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atariage.com&#x2F;software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=855" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;atariage.com&#x2F;software_page.php?SoftwareLabelID=855</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arcade-history.com&#x2F;index.php?page=person&amp;name=Gary+Shannon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arcade-history.com&#x2F;index.php?page=person&amp;name=Ga...</a>

&gt; “In a fast growing market, studios wanted to make it more difficult for competitors to poach talented programmers by keeping their identities hidden. This practice is why we don’t know exactly who conceived and programmed Aquaventure, along with many other titles from the early ’80s.”<p>I don&#x27;t think Activision did that. I remember David Crane&#x27;s name on Activision newsletters and maybe instruction manuals, too. Then of course there is the first Easter Egg ever - Warren Robinett&#x27;s hidden name in &quot;Adventure&quot;, but that supports this statement rather than refutes it.

&gt; According to a blog post written by AtariProtos’ Matt Reichert, “Until the mid 1980s, most games were only credited to the company that published them. In a fast growing market, studios wanted to make it more difficult for competitors to poach talented programmers by keeping their identities hidden. This practice is why we don’t know exactly who conceived and programmed Aquaventure, along with many other titles from the early ’80s.”<p>Oh that&#x27;s rich, coming from the company that pioneered the responsible policy of suppressing developer credits from the games they made.[0]<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pastemagazine.com&#x2F;games&#x2F;easter-eggs-the-hidden-secrets-of-videogames&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pastemagazine.com&#x2F;games&#x2F;easter-eggs-the-hidden-s...</a>

Looking at the gameplay, it seems fun <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tI-N_TnTp1c" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tI-N_TnTp1c</a><p>Apparently it was released with the Atari Flashback 2 mini console and that&#x27;s how it became known to the public <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;atari-flashback-2-only-flashback-worth.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com&#x2F;2017&#x2F;12&#x2F;atari-flashback...</a>

I’m surprised no one has searched up Jed Margolin. He was kind of Mr Atari and had his fingers on all kinds of things in the golden age of Atari<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jedmargolin.com&#x2F;vmail&#x2F;vmail.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jedmargolin.com&#x2F;vmail&#x2F;vmail.htm</a><p>Also<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;atariemailarchive.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;atariemailarchive.org&#x2F;</a>

Obligatory comment: Modern Atari is nothing to do with Atari. It&#x27;s a french games company called Infogrames that bought the name when Atari went bust.

Kind of ironic considering Atari was super against letting their programmers take credit for the games they created, and this lead famously to a group of them leaving and forming Activision. It also lead to Warren Robinett hiding his name in the classic 2600 game &#x27;Adventure&#x27; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oJFao67acks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oJFao67acks</a>)

This actually sounds like a cool game. I think I&#x27;ll grab the ROM later today and give it a go.

Atari needs to help itself first. What a great example of having something amazing at the right time and burning it all down. Do the research- its a crazy spiral.

&gt; Atari XP is offering a proper physical copy of Aquaventure to pre-order on the Atari XP site, which will ship sometime early this year.<p>Probably not if they can&#x27;t find and make a deal with the copyright owner.

I get some serious astroturfing vibes from this post
