It’s always great to hear about the early days of Blizzard and how the games we know and love today were created. Bill Roper has taken part in an interview with the Here’s Waldo Podcast to share his history.
Bill discusses his latest venture, Lunacy Games but also talks about how he got involved with Blizzard and his work on the very early games including Diablo.
The games industry was in a different place 30 years ago and you can hear his excitement when he talks about how experimental things were back then. Those were groundbreaking times for entertainment and without these pioneers we wouldn’t be where we are today when it comes to Blizzard games and Diablo.
I often forget that many Diablo players may not have even been born when all this was happening and it’s hard to convey just how different things were when it came to game development. Sharing videos like this I hope help younger gamers understand Blizzard’s roots.
