The conversation with Jordan Mechner is a fascinating exploration of the gaming industry's evolution. Wes's insights into Mechner's influence on game design are both informative and engaging. The retrospective on Prince of Persia highlights the blend of art and technology. However, the article occasionally feels rushed, glossing over significant developments. - The detailed anecdotes are a highlight but could use more depth. - Wes's personal touch adds warmth, yet sometimes distracts from the main narrative. Overall, this piece is a must-read for anyone interested in gaming history. The link to Mechner's legacy is particularly worth exploring: using WASD wrong. A longer format could have provided a richer experience. Still, it successfully ignites nostalgia for classic gaming.
