Interviews for teh magazine

[Kugerfang]

It seems I have a possibility of scoring an interview with someone inside the games industry for our fine publication. The question is, who shall I interview and what should I ask? For me, I'd like to interview John Romero.

[The Fifth Horseman]

You're the interviewer, you decide. :p

[Tulac]

Heh Romero is the easiest to interview, I think Punch999 interviewed him and posted the interview on a blog where supposed interviews with famous people from gaming industry should be. Needless to say Romero was his only interview. :p

Actually Romero is a member of abandonia. :D

[TheChosen]

Yeah, go with him.

[Kugerfang]

What should I ask him?

[Lulu_Jane]

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

[Kugerfang]

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Actually, the egg came first, but only after the chicken.

[Lulu_Jane]

Welp, guess there's no need to interview him now ;)

[Dave]

Try to create some intelligent questions about games, his experiences, his impressions, some curios facts. Use the brainz :)

Don't forget Al Lowe, Leisure Suit Larry creator:

[_r.u.s.s.]

i'd ask whether does being famous help him to dig chicks

excuse my dictionary but it couldn't be described better

[Simoneer]

...Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, _r.u.s.s.?

[Saccade]

Retracted.

[Quintopotere]

I know, you know: THE man (actually a demi-god) to be interviewed is...


RON GILBERT :clap::monkey:

[Panthro]

Tim Schafer? David Braben? or my personal favourite choice: Richard Garriot?

[red_avatar]

Okay, I'll think of some questions to ask Romero - I'm mostly interested in the old id days and the early years of Ion Storm, with the early failures that were Dominion & Daikatana.

There are a number of game designers who would like to see the concept of abandonware formalized. One of the most vocal abandonware proponents has been designer Greg Costikyan, who argued the case for abandonware in a New York Times article (http://www.freeebay.net/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=324&Itemid=26). In that article, he states, "Software is about as ephemeral as you can get, yet preserving it is essential. Illegal abandonware sites are providing a critical service to game designers and scholars and gaming enthusiasts. They do not, however, provide a lasting and satisfactory solution to the problem because they are illegal." He calls for the creation of an online game museum which would acquire the legal rights to provide older games to the public, thus preserving the games for future players.
[Stephen Granade]

So I suggest him for the first interview!
