Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call 'boomer shooters' now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!).
The road to SimCity's SNES port began with a 1989 meeting so vividly of its time that it almost sounds like it was invented for one of those recent period dramas about a product's origins, like Air or BlackBerry., a new book which chronicles the legendary simulation series, the deal was made in the summer of 1989 after Maxis co-founder Jeff Braun got a call from Nintendo informing him that designer Shigeru Miyamoto wanted SimCity on Nintendo's console.
Braun said yes, and a few months later, he and SimCity designer Will Wright flew to Kyoto where they were"welcomed as family and treated like royalty," according to Gingold's book—the three are pictured in Kyoto in the photo above, republished here courtesy of Braun. Wright spent a week working with Miyamoto on ideas for SimCity's console adaptation, and Miyamoto took the Americans out each evening, including on an excursion to play pachinko.
was published earlier this month by MIT Press—Gingold said that the book took over 10 years to write, in part because surprising details and anecdotes repeatedly sent him off in new directions. Another interesting fact from the book: I thought I'd never get the same satisfaction from a creature collector as I did with Neko Atsume until I played Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge
