2. Production.

In early 1986, Meier and fellow MicroProse used designer Arnold Hendrick wanted to create a role-playing adventure games, but Meyers business partner bill Stealey was skeptical of producing non-vehicle simulations. The company planned several game elements that it removed before release, including several NPCs in the town, more detailed Sailing, including action fleet, and the story relating to religion and nobility.

Join us with Sid Meier for an exclusive talk with one of the most influential game changers in the industry.

For years, video games were regarded as just another form of mindless entertainment, devoid of meaning and entirely mechanical. Today, video games are significant cultural commodities and an acknowledged art form because of the contributions of video game giants. Watch as Sid Meier, the game designer and developer behind the Civilization series, discusses the tales of his video game pioneering in a sneak peek of his upcoming book release.

SID MEIER’S MEMOIR!: A Life in Computer Games (W. W. Norton & Company) takes fans through the life and legacy of one of the most influential creative forces in video game history. The memoir will dive into the challenges he faced and how he influenced the strategy game genre we know today. As part of New York Comic Con’s Metaverse, Sid Meier will also be joined in conversation by Soren Johnson (Lead Designer, Civilization IV), as they reminisce about the joys of creation, the excitement of expanding possibilities, and the very heart of playing video games—and of being human.
