Jason Scott's notes:
Chris Crawford is a top-five interview for me - he was accommodating about having me visit him at his home, and ask him about text adventures and games from decades ago, and he really came through. He's a legend in circles for his strong presentation and pundit style, but unlike a lot of pundits, he's made a whole range of games and programs that challenged what these machines could do. He delivered a lot of amazing lines and statements that show up a large amount of times in GET LAMP and the supporting materials. A fantastic interview.
