For you, if you're not allowed to pick any of the games you were involved with, what are some interesting candidates for you that are just games that inspired the world, impacted the world, shook the world in terms of what video games are able to do?

Can you talk about Ultima?

Like you said that as an inspiration.

I've never crossed that world before.

Well, it was... What kind of game is it?

Oh, when you buy it.

Does that break your heart a little bit that that culture is a bit gone?

And I think mobile games figured out some of the magic of Tetris, the simple... Some of them have, yeah.

But Tetris did it a long, long time ago.

Right.

I've got to ask you about a game I haven't played, but people put up there as one of the greats, Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Have you gotten a chance to play it?

What do you think about, I mean, it's a very different experience.

I've played other Zeldas than the open worlds you've created, but it is also an open world.

It really feels open.

What about... I mean, I just like asking about some open world.

A very different one is the world of either Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption.

like highly recommend finishing that game so you like both the story you like the grittiness of that because they have they have a bit of the like i guess if you like the fall fall out there's the humor the i don't know i don't know what it is it's the light-hearted humor of it but also the brutality of human nature is in there too but it's like uh

And also some of the fun they create with the music when you drive and stuff like that.

They create a world.
