SPOnG's Bill Williams information was recently updated by his brother-in-law as follows:
"As the brother in-law of Bill I got to play test many of his first games. There are a couple of early ones that you neglected to mention that can't be forgotten, these are Salmon Run, and Alley Cat. I believe these were both originally for the Atari game computers.
"Bill Williams also wrote some articles for Creative Computing magazine on Sound generation.
"Bill Williams was a wonderful musician as well as a fantastically creative programmer. He played in his own band for a few years I believe it was called Argys or Argus. They played in some clubs around Metro Detroit. I was too young to see them myself but my brother said they sounded like Rush. I did get to hear Bill play at home a couple of times and his Keyboard playing was mesmerizing."
Software Highlights from Credited Titles
Bill Williams's first video game work that SPOnG is aware of is the 1988 title, "Necromancer" (Atari 400/800/XL/XE) as Lead Programmer.
Bill's most recent involvement was as Lead Programmer on the 1992 release "Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare" (SNES).
