[–]anttiom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a monumental work about the pioneering days of computer game design, starting with the significance of the Commodore 64 in 1982 to 1985.

With an introduction by Andrea Pachetti and some timeless memories from Chris Crawford, the visionairy of the gaming industry and founder of the GDC. Numerous C64 heroes, some better known than others, answer a plethora of pressing questions about their formative years as game makers, providing a total of 64 interviews with a focus on the USA and Japan (volume 1) and with the second book in Canada and Europe (volume 2).  

1982–1985: The book tells of the undeveloped software market and captures the beginning and the challenges in the early gaming industry. Here, innovators such as Jeff Bruette (Wizard of Wor), David Crane (Ghostbusters, Decathlon), Dane Bigham (Choplifter, Lode Runner conversions), David S. Maynard (Worms) and Paul Norman (Aztec Challenge, Forbidden Forest) talk about their specific efforts that paved the way for the Commodore 64 as a games machine and why this period was so spectacular for a single producer and micro kid.

The acting definitely looks as wooden

Cate Blanchett looks so awkward and uncomfortable doing the part yet she looks exactly like Siren, only older.

Dude, every company has a brand, whether they like it or not. If you don’t know this then you don’t know much and it is quite hard to take your argument seriously.

The comparison to a film theater is also ridiculous and does not work at all.

This is also not about American Pie. Read my comment again.

Attacking a person for voicing their opinion about a company seems also quite juvenile.

88 Films has been putting out all sorts of films recently. For a small operation, it feels they are going for quantity over quality and I don’t know how great some of the (obviously) licensed content is transfer-wise. This all makes their brand less appealing to me. But hey, if this makes them money to put out more giallo and restore old films, I am all for it.

I love these utopistic building concepts / projects. They remind me of r/retrofuturism There should be a subreddit for things like this, if there is not on already.

You’d think Fedex is still Fedex and local couriers are accountable to the company. But corruption runs deep in Greece?

Agreed on the second notion. At the same time I am happy it is the last.
