Pete Davidson used to write for Gamepro magazine. I want to say he worked with Dan Amrich, but I'm not sure of that. I've heard his name somewhere before and maybe it was on Dan's OneOfSwords podcast.
It makes you think of two things at once which makes things hectic, but I kinda liked that aspect. Like a bombing run in a plane. My other favorites of the genre also have the same thing: Sky Shark, 194x series, and Twinbee.
Astro Blaster, Congo Bongo, Eliminator, Space Fury, and Super Zaxxon.
Just read the Wiki page on him. Amazing career!
I used to own the game on PS1. It was in a double disc sized case if I remember right. I played a little bit of it but I can't remember why I didn't finish it.

I think game company BioWare got their name from Snow Crash. It was mentioned in the book in a way that suggested Stephenson was coining a new word, but I can't seem to confirm this anywhere on the net so far.
