CHM Revolutionaries: Game Changers- Mark Cerny with EA's Rich Hilleman

This is an episode of REVOLUTIONARIES, a co-production of the Computer History Museum and KQED television, with major sponsorship by Intel. Recorded: November 7, 2012, broadcast date: May 6, 2013. Mark Cerny is one of gaming's most influential designers, a true "game changer." He's received the International Game Developers Association's Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as been inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' Hall of Fame. Mark Cerny joined Atari at the age of 17, and in a career spanning over thirty years has worked variously as a game designer, programmer, producer and business executive. His first major success was the classic arcade game "Marble Madness"; he subsequently made the transition to console games, working for Sega in the U.S. and Japan, and eventually serving as president of Universal Studio's games division. He is now the president and founder of Cerny Games, a game design consultancy that has contributed to the release of no fewer than 14 million-selling titles, including "Ratchet & Clank" and "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune". Mark recently joined Electronic Arts' 20th employee and now Chief Creative Director, Rich Hilleman, for a wide-ranging conversation about his life and times in the gaming industry, along with his thinking about the state of the industry - from frustratingly difficult games to Hollywood's impact on games.
