About Matt Chat
Do you remember when game developers cared more about originality than turning a fast buck? When awesome companies like Origin, Sierra On-Line, SSI, and Sir-Tech were household names, and a Blizzard was just an ice cream treat?
Welcome to Matt Chat.
Each week, I bring you interviews with the best designers of yesterday and today. I cover the glory days of DOS, Commodore, Apple, and Atari--the good ol' days when games like King's Quest, Dungeon Master, and X-Com were at the top of the charts.
This channel is for retrogamers, game designers, and anyone else who appreciates great games. Each week, I look at another masterpiece, its inspirations, and its legacy. If you want to know the stories behind your favorite computer games, subscribe today.
