Dona Bailey

Welcome to #LisaDurden’s #WomensHistoryMonthMoment: Dona Bailey is a game programmer and educator who, in 1981, created the arcade video game #Centipede. As a young programmer, she was hired by #GeneralMotors in 1978 and trained in assembly language programming and microprocessor-based cruise control systems. She became interested in #SpaceInvaders and the world of arcade games, another application of the work she was doing at GM. In 1980, #DonaBailey’s video game concept was realized when she joined #Atari’s coin-op division, where she was the only women. #ClapForThat!! In 2007, she was the keynote speaker at the #WomenInGamesInternational Conference.
