Who designed and programmed the 1983 M*A*S*H video game?
Answer
Doug Neubauer
Doug Neubauer designed and programmed the 1983 M*A*S*H video game.
The game was published by Fox Video Games and was based primarily on the 1970 M*A*S*H film rather than being a direct adaptation of a particular television episode. Its central action combines helicopter rescues with medical treatment at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. Neubauer handled both the design and programming of the original release.
M*A*S*H appeared first on the Atari 2600, with versions later produced for systems including Atari 8-bit computers, ColecoVision, Intellivision, the TI-99/4A, and VIC-20. The TI-99/4A edition notably supported speech through its speech synthesizer peripheral.
The other choices are associated with other influential video-game development histories, which makes them plausible distractors. Rob Fulop worked on Atari titles, Howard Scott Warshaw created games such as Yars' Revenge and E.T., and David Crane was a leading Activision designer—but none designed this M*A*S*H game.
