Weekly Design Links — 04/09/24

Video games have been a big influence in my life. From early 8-bit, through the dawn of 3D, and into the current day–it’s all creative, designed to every detail (when it’s great), and built for fun. I played my share of racing games, but this was never my favorite genre. Still, this week’s links have two great articles referencing classic games and their impact and influence on today’s design scene. Maybe one of these weeks it will just be all video games. You’ll all know that I’ve gone too far. I won’t care.
