Description: If you've been following the happenings of Atari for the last few years, you've likely taken note of some of our frequent collaborators. One of them, Graphite Lab, has been delivering killer new titles like Kombinera, Mr. Run and Jump, and Qomp 2, while also serving as the current steward of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic. That's in addition to fostering a number of other projects with various partners. At the center of their operation is Matt Raithel, Studio Director of Graphite Lab. Following the launch of a title on the newly released Board platform, I thought it was an opportune time to sit down and chat a little bit about that, but also Matt's background and how he sees the middle America gaming industry.
