Video-game designer Anna Anthropy describes the life of a radical, queer, transgender gamer.
In 2002, Anna Anthropy, the prolific transgender video-game developer, decided to quit playing video games.
At the time, she was a sophomore at Purchase College, SUNY, in New York, buried in the coursework and psychic burdens that come with double majoring in women’s studies and creative writing, with a minor in lesbian and gay studies. But she was also fed up with the big-budget games of the day, like Super Mario Galaxy and Metal Gear Solid II, which she found to be “stupid,” “patronizing” and “just dumb.” Her period of Buddha-like renunciation ended a year later, when she discovered Game Maker, a software program that allows users to make computer games without prior computer programming experience.
She used it to create her first real game, a reflex-based puzzler called “Jaywalker: The Game of Pedestrian Revenge,” the goal of which is to cause car crashes by walking blindly into intersections. “Things could get a little sleazy, if you wanted them to,” Anthropy said with a grin.

, September 10, 1941 – October 4, 1997), sometimes misspelled as Gumpei Yokoi, was a Japanese video game designer. He was a long-time Nintendo employee, best known for creating the Game Boy and Game & Watch handheld systems, inventor of the modern-day D-pad or 'cross' pad (a design that nearly all video game controllers use today), and producer of a few long-running and critically acclaimed video game franchises. Career[edit] Yokoi graduated from Doshisha University with a degree in electronics. He was first hired by Nintendo in 1965 to maintain the assembly-line machines used to manufacture its Hanafuda cards.[1] Yokoi is best known for his creation of the Game Boy. After the worldwide success of Donkey Kong, Yokoi continued to work with Miyamoto on the next Mario game, Mario Bros.[7] He proposed the multiplayer concept and convinced his co-worker to give Mario some superhuman abilities, such as the ability to jump from higher places unharmed.[7]

As an engineering student at the University of Utah in the nineteen-sixties, Bushnell had become obsessed with an early computer game called Spacewar. The game’s developers, a group of graduate students who were part of the Tech Model Railroad Club, at M.I.T., an early proving ground of computer hackers, had never considered selling the game; their idea was to demonstrate the appeal of interactivity, and to take a first small step toward simulating intelligent life on a computer. Bushnell’s ambition was more worldly. He wanted to manufacture coin-operated game-playing machines and license them to amusement arcades. He foresaw a new kind of midway hustle, in which the hustler would be inside the machine. In the late nineteen-eighties, a new type of video game quietly emerged—the God game. “O.K., now go to test mode,” Wright said. Dru Erridge.
