ABSTRACT OF TALK
Besides being a lot of fun to play, video games are also a major driver of innovation in computer graphics. Join
us for a fascinating evening with three famous game
designers — Jordan Mechner (Prince of Persia),
Rand Miller (Myst), and Will Wright (SimCity), who
will discuss how their games have pushed the boundaries
of graphics development over the years. Moderated by
Vince Broady of CNET GameSpot, the panelists will show
and tell how their games have helped move us from simple pixel painting to lavish 3-D simulation.
Before the panel, members of the Museum are invited to
interact with the first-ever display of the Museum’s
collection of computer games and artifacts, and see
examples of the absolute cutting edge in computer
graphics, courtesy of nVidia, the evening’s corporate sponsor.
If you enjoy video games, then you won’t want to miss this exciting combination of creative talent, historical collections, and cutting-edge demos. If video games are not your passion, then come learn about how they have been responsible for exciting innovations in computing history. In either case, prepare to have fun!
