In the first of two volumes, we remake five classic video games – ranging from Pong to Sensible Soccer, each represents a different genre. We interview the games’ original creators and learn from their example, as well as utilize the art and audio engineering skills of two of the 1980s’ most prolific game developers for our recreated versions of the games.
