Featuring interviews with the creators of 43 popular video games—including Spyro the Dragon, Syphon Filter, NFL GameDay 98 and Final Fantasy VII—this book gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most influential (and sometimes forgotten) titles of the original PlayStation era. Interviewees recall the painstaking development, challenges of working with mega publishers and uncertainties of public reception, and discuss the creative processes that produced some of gaming’s all-time classics
