Good old Basic Computer Games.

I was so disappointed by what a racist David Ahl turned out to be. (He was responsible for the incredibly disrespectful "Ninja-Endo" character in late-80s Atari comics.)

Do you have any more information on that? I looked around and all I could find were these (fairly racist) asian caricatures in an Atarian Magazine comic strip:

That's what I was referring to. He also has a web page:

On it he seems to express rather conservative and religious views; make of that what you will.
