January 2005

Howard and the Webthang here at OnceUponAtari.com wish to express our sadness over the loss of a truly cool guy and most valuable asset to classic gaming. Bryan "KidHype" Smith, producer of Retrogaming Radio, will be missed by a huge community spread throughout the world. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and close friends.

Howard will be at Philly Classic Five!
Yes, Howard will be there (along with Web Thang). According to Atariage:

"Howard Scott Warshaw will be attending PhillyClassic 5, and will be autographing copies of Saboteur purchased at the show! Saboteur will be sold with a professionally printed box, manual and label, all in the style of Atari's original silver label releases. This is a more complete version of the game than what is currently floating around the net. The artwork for the game was created by Dave Exton, with a manual written by Matt Reichert, including Howard Scott Warshaw's thoughts about the game."
