Still Loading

This episode was actually recorded almost a year ago! I'm joined by the former Chief Technical Officer of Broderbund, Mickey W. Mantle! (No relation to the baseball player). I invited Mickey on to talk about his work on the Living Books series which were a series of interactive story books for the PC. Mickey now runs his own company, Wanderful Interactive, and as released some of the Living Books games on modern devices! In addition to that he is also a co-author of the book Managing the Unmanageable. Wandeful's website HERE   End Song: K.K.

We have come to the end of our scripted dive into the history of the RTS genre. I explain it in more detail in the episode, but the amount of work for these scripted episodes is just getting more and more and I sadly don't have the time to keep up with these monthly scripted episodes.
