Developer Workstations, Player Play Stations

I’ve collected quite a few! I’m sure others have too!


… I may have around 50 images or more of just workstations. Then there’s the play stations…

From Making of Lunar Silver Star Story:

Artists (look at those 1990s dual screens, which if I’m not mistaken are just two computers)

What looks like game testing



Localization (look at the setup, which seems geared for comparing Sega CD Lunar to the Playstation one)

Image editing

Programming (2nd and 3rd images are a pan from right to left on Tim’s setup)



Voice recording

That’s Dave too

Thank you! I was thinking on my way home from work today, “I’m going to find Rieko Kodama at work tonight.” I knew I had seen an image or two out there.

Instead, I’ll send you to Infocom in the 1980s. Don’t be daunted by the hour; each loop is a little over a minute.

these look ike you should be playing Myst inside, or perhaps creating the first VRML experience

It’s basically my setup in my van

having an eraserhead laserdisc pride of place is such a weird cool move for The Pokémon Guy.
