’90s PC gaming veterans roundtable

For our third and final roundtable from GDC 2024, we gathered together a special group of developers who each have more than 30 years of experience making PC games. Our guests:

– Jordan Mechner – Karateka, Prince of Persia, The Last Express
– Warren Spector – Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Deus Ex
– Charles Cecil – Broken Sword, Beneath a Steel Sky
– Khris Brown – Voice director & editor for LucasArts, Double Fine, Ubisoft

Our veteran panel discuss how they got into games (and how unlikely their paths could be replicated today), the challenges of making games with the technology of the ’80s and ’90s, run-ins with celebrity voice actors like Mark Hamill, and—of course—the history of the Knights Templar.
