Halcyon Days was published about five years ago, and while it caught my eye at the time, I never did actually get around to reading it. It’s a collection of interviews with the programmers of many of the early computer games, back when they were still somewhat of a niche market and often programmed by a single person, rather than the multimillion dollar projects they tend to be currently (Chris Sawyer’s wonderful stuff to the contrary).

If you’re interested in the subject matter, Halcyon Days is now available in its entirety online.
