Dave Akers

Dave Akers is a video game programmer and designer who worked on the M-Network ports of BurgerTime,[1] Bump 'n' Jump,[2] and Star Strike[3] for the Atari 2600. He co-designed the 1989 arcade game Klax with Mark Stephen Pierce[4] and worked on Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters.[5]

In 2013, Dave Akers developed Paddle Party,[6] a homebrew game for Intellivision released by Elektronite.
