The director of Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Jurassic Park, and many more classics has long spoken about his love of video games, stretching back to 1982 when he revealed the instant thrill and ego “massage” that playing games like Donkey Kong and Tempest provided.

    He really is a videogame fan. When he co-created DreamWorks he pushed for a gaming arm of the company. If anyone played Metal of Honor (especially the first one) it’s because of him.

    Also, ET helped cause the videogame crash in the 80’s!

      The d day level of medal of honor was a serious moment. It’s like “yeah, you keep dying and it’s frustrating. You’re watching all these other people die. But that’s what it was actually like.”

      There was a moment where I had made it to the buildings and looked back and saw my brothers in arms being mowed down and it’s a different experience than seeing it on TV.
