As a child growing up predominantly in the 80s and 90s, point-and-click adventures games were my jam!
It's been great being able to take a look back at a very interesting part of my childhood and fondly recall some of my prime gaming experiences.

I will never get tired of collections like these. It's such a nostalgia trip going back and looking at the artwork from the games I grew up playing. It's shocking how well they've aged in some regards, and hearing all the stories from the creators was heartwarming. They seemed to love the games just as much as the players did! Hearing about the technological limitations, stories about working on George Lucas' ranch, Steven Spielberg calling the developers wanting tips and how modern point and click games still have a wide appeal was all fascinating to me. As the zeitgeist of games and history evolve, I'm happy to add another book like this to my collection to help me remember the roots and think about the future.

Si el asunto es dar una visión general desde la nostalgia (Sierra, Lucasarts) hasta la actualidad (Telltale, Wadjet Eye), cumple con creces: las entrevistas son interesantes, aunque a veces un tanto repetitivas (queda claro que, efectivamente, las oficinas del Rancho Skywalker eran muy bonitas y todo el mundo las recuerda con cariño) y aunque podría centrarse más en el diseño de mecánicas detrás de esos juegos (no es el caso) o, al menos, de concept art, la verdad es que es un repaso muy interesante que apunta a los enormes huecos que aún tenemos que rellenar en la muy reciente pero ya en peligro Historia de los Videojuegos.
