Introduction to Sports Games (1985-1986)

Hired by GameStar, which was acquired by Activision, Lyndon started by developing simulated sprite drivers for the Macintosh version of Star League Baseball. Programming for GameStar continued even after the Activision acquisition while Lyndon went on to develop Star Rank Boxing, Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing, GBA 2-on-2 Basketball and portions of GFL 3D Football. At this time, George Lucas had completed his movie Return of the Jedi and he began work on a new movie, for which Lyndon was the Activision whiz-kid developer called to the task. That movie was Howard the Duck, which has gone on to become one of the worst box office failures of all time. Lyndon believes more games were sold than VHS copies of the movie.
