Games Generated This Week: Elebits - Wii Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt - Sega Genesis Pac-Man - WiiU This week Chris, Courtney, and John get environmentally friendly with a new set of randomly chosen games! Play hide and seek with an early electric Wii game, follow in the footsteps of Sega's hedgehog with a wonky mascot platformer, and chase ghosts through a maze (or have them chase you) in an arcade classic. All of that and another trivia challenge on this week's episode of Procedurally Generated! Procedurally Generated is a journey through the history of video games. However, in this show, our destiny isn't in our own hands as every game we discuss has been chosen at random! This means we will be diving into games running the gamut from revered and respected to forgotten and overlooked entirely.

Broderbund was one of the most important publishers of the 80s and 90s, releasing seminal titles such as Choplifter, Prince of Persia, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Print Shop, and Myst. But behind the scenes was a family, a true band of siblings, that proved that business didn't have to be a cutthroat winner-take-all affair. Gary Carlston, together with his brother Doug and sister Cathy, helped create a legendary company with a legacy like few others. Gary tells his story from humble beginnings peddling TRS-80 games to local shops to becoming a global powerhouse and, finally, having to call it quits to preserve the family.

In the earliest days of computer games, someone had to get games from fledgling publishers to the mom-and-pop computer stores dotted across the country.  Our guest, Jerry Wolosenko, was one such man and from picking product at events like the West Coast Computer Faire, to representing Psygnosis in the USA, to getting involved with a little start-up called Harmonix, Jerry has met every big name in the business, seen every ebb and flow the industry has to offer and regales us with some truly amazing stories. Sit back and relax as we go deep into the history of gaming with Jerry Wolosenko.

We pick up in this second part of our interview with Don Daglow, as he leaves EA to join Broderbund, where he would produce Prince of Persia, help land distribution for SimCity and license Star Wars. He followed that amazing run with his own studio, Beyond Software, later renamed Stormfront Studios, that would create the first graphical MMO, Neverwinter Nights, bring Madden to the PC and so much more.

Don Daglow started making games on PDP-10s in the 70s, before becoming one of the first developers for the Intellivision, creating the groundbreaking strategy title Utopia.  Later, he went on to be an early producer at EA and Broderbund, helping bring us classics like Racing Destruction Set, Shufflepuck Cafe (a personal favorite of mine), Prince of Persia, SimCity and Where in Europe is Carmen Sandiego. We explore these early years of his career, the nature of the business back then and how we could have had a Star Wars RPG back in the 80s in this first half of our 2 part interview. https://www.daglowslaws.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Daglow https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,3246/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayCable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Arts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_Hawkins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc.

Q&A: >1. How did this article come about? I was a young professor at Oregon State University in 1979 and the personal computer industry was just getting started. Apple computer gave me an Apple ][e to play with, which started a long relationship and thinking about the disruptive nature of PCs. I began writing books and articles about them, eg How To Profit From Your PC, and The Mind Appliance. I think they were the first books on the topic. > Did you submit it or was it requested by the magazine? I don’t recall but probably it was unsolicited. I think it was little high-brow for Byte. > > Was it part of a larger research project? No. Back then, PCs were considered toys unworthy of academic study. Everyone else used the mainframe on campus. By 1985 I had a lab of 20-30 Macs for Master degree students to do their research on. It was a robust effort at that time and for OSU. > > > 2. Which "personal computers," according to your definition in the article, were you using at the time? > Like I said, Apple ][e, but before that I had a kit computer from North Star, which went out of business. But it had a disk operating system and BASIC burned into ROM. That was 1977. But when the Apple came out, it took over the market. > > 3. Your fourth law, concerning the high cost of producing software, seems prescient of the need for standardized hardware architectures. Were you imagining at the time that such a universal standard might be possible? Were you thinking that the S-100 was such a standard? How long did you think a standard in personal computing could last? > > Well you are right - the S-100 was a standard as well as Bill Gate’s BASIC. But I was thinking more in terms of what is now FOSS. Also, I was enamored by p-code UCSD Pascal. Boy was I wrong! > > 4. In laws 5 and 6, you talk about the usability of a personal computer as well as the service required to make that usability understandable to the consumer. Did you consider the existing machines you named in the piece as "simple" enough to be successful on the mass market at the time without the need to have the consumer to be held by the hand by a human service person? (aka you didn't need a human to explain a simple calculator but you did for most software packages at the time) > I completely missed the importance of GUIs until we got some Xerox Parc windows machines and then the Macintosh came out. They were so easy to use, you didn’t even need a manual. Totally surprising. I missed this again when the iPhone came out. I was right about ease of use, but totally missed the impact of GUIs. > > 5. Had you already seen Visicalc at the time of writing this piece and, if not, would it have changed any of your views concerning interface and usability? I wrote the first book on spreadsheets, 32 VisiCalc Spreadsheets, soon after. It paid off my mortgage! But I never thought of it as a GUI. And of course it was. It was an example of ease of use. I was stuck in a BASIC paradigm, were the language was the interface. There had to be better interface, but I was stuck in the command line interface. > > 6. Law 8 makes a rather bold statement concerning operating systems. Do you think this statement was true at the time, and if so, what changed in the technology or the market place to make operating systems as ubiquitous as they are today? I am sad to say that operating systems are still too primitive. We are stuck with Unix and it’s derivatives. I consider Unix (Circa 1976) to be a major misstep in computing, akin to the original sin. It stripped out the security of Multics and usability of VMS. Much of what is wrong with computing today is traceable back to Unix and Linux. Nuff said. > > 7. Law 10 seems to sound an ominous warning for the future. How has the propagation of personal computing over the last 40 years differed from the way you imagined it at the time? (yes, I know, a very narrowly crafted question) :) Well the more time that passes, the less accurate become predictions. Wireless internet has changed everything. Mobile computing and cloud are the result. The future is probably wireless 5G with a computer in everything down to light bulbs and toothbrushes. When quantum computers take over, the Internet and its computers will have to be reinvented. > > I hope this isn't asking too much. I really found the article fascinating and trying to put such things into a proper historical context is the main goal of our show. No problem. Thanks for reminding me that I wrote the article 40 years ago.   Recommended Links: They Create Worlds: https://tcwpodcast.podbean.com/ Digital Antiquarian: https://www.filfre.net/ The Arcade Blogger: https://arcadeblogger.com/
