Gumball was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1990. The original lineup consisted of Don Fleming ( vocals and guitar), Eric Vermillion (vocals, bass), and Jay Spiegel ( drums). In 1992, a fourth member was added, Malcolm Riviera (guitar, keyboards) who had previously played with Fleming and Spiegel in the Velvet Monkeys.
Gumball is a 1983 video game by Robert Cook and Broderbund in which the player controls the valves of a maze-like machine to sort gumballs by their color. The player meets the quota of each level to earn their character—a factory worker—a promotion, resulting in a raise in difficulty with more color choices and defective gumballs to exclude. Broderbund co-founder Doug Carlston conceived of the game's machine-sorting concept, and Cook, the designer, added the gumball conceit. He designed the main gumball processing machine within a week and later returned to add smaller features, like sound and decorative animations. The developer also hid a secret image within the game that was only found three decades after Gumball release. Broderbund tested the game and prepared its packaging. Gumball debuted at the June 1983 Consumer Electronics Show and released for the Apple II, Atari 8-bit family, and Commodore 64 platforms. Reviewers separately noted the difficulty of the game's later stages, praised its comical elements, and commented on the social role of simulating mundane work. The game did not become popular and copies of it became rare.
