At @kansasfest.bsky.social a few weeks ago, I shared the story of cartoonist Ya'akov Kirschen's quixotic quest to break into the computer industry. Based on years of research, this presentation has it all: old video games, comics, Jewish education, and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Vw...

In this video, you'll learn how this celebrated cartoonist got into computers and see his Apple II games in action — including "Nosh Kosh," a Jewish take on Pac-Man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Vw... #retrocomputing #retrogaming #apple2forever #appleii #kansasfest #kfest2025

Last weekend at @kansasfest.bsky.social, I gave a new presentation on the lesser-known legacy of the late Yaakov Kirschen. Best known as cartoonist, he also developed fun computer games and innovative software in the '80s. But his projects were almost lost to history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Vw...
