THE MINDS BEHIND SPORTS GAMES: INTERVIEWS WITH CULT AND CLASSIC VIDEO GAME DEVELOPERS

Patrick Hickey Jr., Michael Brook (Foreword), Sanders Keel (Afterword)



 

Featuring interviews with the creators of 35 popular video games--including John Madden Football, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, WCW/nWo Revenge, and RBI Baseball--this book gives a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of some of the most influential and iconic (and sometimes forgotten) sports video games of all time. Recounting endless hours of painstaking development, the challenges of working with mega-publishers and the uncertainties of public reception, the interviewees reveal the creative processes that produced some of gaming's classic titles.
