Game Developer conference with David Crane, I've just started watching this (it's about an hour long), apparently goes into some depth as to how they managed to fit all that game into such a tiny system!

Personal arcade memories. That and Jungle King! 
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Re: David Crane Discussing programming Pitfall
I never got to play pitfall on the atari VHS but i remember spending hours on Pitfall II on my c64! I think i even started drawing out new levels and maps on graph paper for stuff i'd have loved to have seen in a sequel

I had it on my Atari 2600 (VCS I think... ) and then I didn't learn and got it on the C64 too when I got one of them! Fool!
