  2. Геймдев XX века: как делались игры нашего детства

    История игростроения – захватывающая и многогранная тема, за долгие годы обросшая мифами, стереотипами и интересными историями. Конец ХХ века, эпоха расцвета игр и становления многих жанров, особенно богат на такие вещи. В этой статье мы познакомимся с некоторыми интересными образцами технологий, применявшихся в геймдеве с 1980-х до конца 1990-х годов. И своими глазами увидим, какими тернистыми путями шли разработчики к тому, чтобы воплотить свои мечты.

  3. BTW: One of the things I learned from Jordan Mechner in his documentary?

    HOW TO PRONOUNCE "KARATEKA"

    ❌ Since I was 10yo, I've said, "ka-RAH-tek-ah".

    ✅ Jordan pronounces his game, "care-uh-TEK-uh".

  11. Strange but true: If you inserted the original #Karateka Apple II disc upside down, you could play through the entire game that way. You can toggle this as a pause-menu option in The Making of Karateka -- it was too cool not to preserve. :)
