LucasArts Pioneer Discusses Classic Games

Posted by simoniker on from the mmm-rescue-on-fractalus dept.

neonstz writes "David Fox, co-author of Rescue on Fractalus, Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken And The Alien Mindbenders, visited The Gathering demo-party in Norway this easter. He gave a nice on-site presentation, unfortunately not available online, about the early days of Lucasfilm Games (now known as LucasArts) and Rescue on Fractalus, but there's also a lengthy interview with Fox on the official Gathering site, discussing his own games and game development in general."

    He seemed to dodge the question about Sam & Max 2 in the interview, but I bet he's damn well pissed that Lucasarts cancelled it, too.

    Put the game back on schedule, damn it!
