Sid Meier interview – a lifelong strategy: from Pirates to Starships

David Jenkins writes "It was Sid Meier’s birthday the day we got to meet him. We were polite enough not to ask him old he was, but if Wikipedia is to be believed he’s 61. Having made his first commercial video game in his late twenties that means he’s seen the evolution of video games from computing novelty to the multi-billion dollar industry it is today. And while companies and genres have risen and fallen, he’s remained as one of the most influential developers of the last three decades."
