Steven Spielberg – A Monkey Island Fan?

Is Steven Spielberg, arguably one of the best directors of our time, a Monkey Island fan? My magic 8 ball has always told me yes every single time I have asked it, but who can trust a magic 8 ball? The magic 8 ball has also said I would be a billionaire and look at me now. I have to sell monkey parts on the black market just to get by.

But this time, the old magic 8 ball is actually right if this interview that Ron Gilber over at Grumpy Gamer found. Not only is he a fan of Monkey Island, but he’s also a fan of Myst and the Mario series of games.

Not bad, I says!

Spielberg loves to play video games! Why? Because it was something he could do with his kids that was a ton of fun and brought them closer. That’s what I tried to tell my mom when I was playing video games all the time, but she still said it would rot my brain out. If only she had played the video games WITH ME, she would’ve seen the truth!

But not only is Spielberg a game fan, he’s also helping to make video games. Check out Spielberg’s creation!

Pretty cool, if you ask me.
