If you could ask...
Sid Meiers or Peter Molyneaux or Clive Sinclair or anyone from Apogee or ID, etc... any question you could -
What would it be? |

If you could take one game - any game - you were part of the development of and remake it for modern age, which game would that be?

Do you think you got into the games industry at the right time, or would you prefer to be starting out now (with the newer tech)?
(I suppose that would be for Molyneux, Garriot or any of the Sierra folks (also known as my heroes! ). [edit] 100 posts! and its only taken me 2.5 years! :P |

Nice - that's three.
When I get six, eight or twelve off others here, I'll approach people (like if I can track down someone from Apogee) with a list of questions that will be a mixture of several types - write in ones like this, a few I'd like to ask and (will probably have to) plug their latest work and when it will be released, etc... Good trade-off, though! I will approach Firaxis again and try to get comment from Sid Meiers first, since I have already spoken with them before. I am really hoping that they will take the time to give us a few short answers! I believe I can help them decide to make the time to return an email, which is all that's needed for a good interview if the thing's put together right, to fit the questions that are asked. |

How do they feel (sid especially) about producing the equivalent of electronic heroin, addicting millions. Not a bad addiction to have, I know Civ got me hooked, I still dream about sending tanks into Paris.

How does it make you feel to see how much the world gaming has changed and evovled, in 10, let alone 20 years?

How did you do it? Etc.
How useful was what you learnt at school and college compared to what you had to teach yourself by playing with the computer and reading manuals? How do both learning methods compare, which one makes you learn faster and remember things years after?

Which game are you least happy with and why?
Did you make any big mistakes in your career that you learned from and wish you hadn't made? Which of your own games would you enjoy playing the most today? How do you feel about the many sites online that are seeking to preserve and focus on classic (DOS) games? Do you feel that the size of current development teams affects the focus and quality of games compared to the small teams 15-20 years or even the one-man teams? If you had to chose between big budget games or indie games, which would you pick and why? DRM has received a lot of bad press over the past year - what are your personal feelings regarding it? |
