Double Fine's New Video Series Explores Video Games' Past
In the first episode of Devs Play, a new video series by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions, Double Fine's Greg Rice travels back to 1994 to play the 16-bit classic The Lion King with Westwood Studios' co-founder Louis Castle. In this full walkthrough of the game, which periodically showcases Rice's strange overhand button tapping, Castle discusses the development of the game and the pressure of living up to Aladdin.
Double Fine has a handful of Devs Play episodes mapped out. Next up is Earthbound (on December 30), followed by Gauntlet with Mike Mika (January 6), The Legend of Zelda (January 13), Doom with John Romero (January 20), and Psychonauts with Tim Schafer (January 27). You can watch the first episode below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
