Why I Love is a series of guest editorials on GamesIndustry.biz intended to showcase the ways in which game developers appreciate each other's work. This entry was contributed by Scott Christian, co-founder of Hilltop Studios, which launched the narrative adventure game Lil' Guardsman on PC, Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this week.
As a kid born in the mid-'80s, some of my earliest memories include NES (specifically standing right next to the already old CRT TV in our basement, pressing the muzzle of the Duck Hunt gun to the glass), and a little later a Game Boy (which made family road trips a little bit more bearable).
But when I really think back on my earliest core gaming memories, it was playing the classic early-'90s LucasArts and Sierra adventure games with my mom. The memories are hazy at this point, but I think I was probably the one 'driving,' with her there to help when I got stuck. Or to step in when the whole damn game flummoxed me. See: The Dig, which I loved, but which made no sense to me at the time.
