For any of you who aren't aware, last week was the 35th anniversary of the release of the original Mac. I published a Medium article to celebrate the milestone, and here now you can listen to an audio version of that. It's 14 current and former game developers talking about the early Macintosh computer and how it inspired them to make something insanely great.

You can learn more about all these guys, and the surprising impact the Mac had on games history, in my book The Secret History of Mac Gaming.
