This was absolutely amazing to see. Thank you for sharing it (and your personal explanation of it) with us!! It is mindblowing to see how so many of the things we were accustomed to from The Sims are described here, like the objects defining the possible actions, the "ambiguous" blurbs ("Simlish"), multiplayer vs. local simulation, etc. .. I love his clarity of mind about all these subjects and how casually he answers all the questions -- proving how depthfully he thought about this stuff.

Now, definitely need to check more of this historical stuff... amazing :D

A few years ago I worked with an old colleague of yours Alex Z from those days. I of course poked him about random Maxis questions over and over, since I was such a megafan of Maxis back in those days. A great colleague regardless of our sparse work interactions. I've sent this video over to him in case he hadn't already seen it, of course!

Thanks again for sharing this, so stoked tonight haha :)
