Extrait de http://www.emuunlim.com/doteaters/play4sta3.htm :
If there's one thing that goes together with late 70's computer users, it's TSR's paper and dice game Dungeons and Dragons. Jim Connelley is Dungeon Master of a D&D game in California, and one of the regular players is Jon Freeman, a neophyte to computer programming but well-versed in game design. He's a previously published author of two books on board games, and is a contributor to the hobbyist magazine GAMES.
Looking to write off the purchase of his new Commodore PET computer, Connelley enlists Freeman's help with designing Starfleet Orion, programmed in BASIC. When they finish it in 1978, they have the first space-based tactical combat game for a microcomputer. In order to market the game, they form the first computer game publisher, Automated Simulations. The game is followed by a sequel, Invasion Orion, also for the PET.
Both games are a success, and are eventually ported to other systems like the Apple II and TRS-80. But the company really hits it big in 1979 with the first entry in its Dunjunquest series, Temple of Apshai.
