The Manhole livestream with Robyn Miller

Post by mossy_11 »

I'm doing another history of Mac gaming livestream next week. This time I'll have Robyn Miller joining me to talk about Cyan's first game, The Manhole, in celebration of its 30th anniversary. We may talk about some other stuff, too, like Cyan's other games and HyperCard and the early Mac in general.

You can join us from 6pm Pacific Time on June 27 at https://twitch.tv/mossrc

Thanks for the update Richard!

My kids found the last one really interesting.

Any chance you can find some of the early people from Broderbund?

Maybe. I already know where to find Lauren Elliott (co-creator of Carmen Sandiego, worked on Shufflepuck Café and many other games) — he's working with Will Wright on a new thing.

Doug Carlston is apparently still fairly accessible, too. Beyond that, I'm not sure. But probably some of the other people who worked there or had games published by them in the early days would be up for it if I can get onto them.

Here's a replay for anyone who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kX5E7yOHJg

Same replay is also at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/278446619

Robyn had lots of interesting stories to share. We played a bit of Cosmic Osmo as well, and even popped into Spelunx at the end.

Next stream will probably be with Eric Zocher and Charlie Jackson on the Silicon Beach days, if all goes well.

I was on an airplane when you did the stream, but can't wait to watch on YouTube when I get a chance. Thanks for doing this.
