FROM PCS TO LBP: USER-GENERATED CONTENT THROUGH THE ERAS
Gamasutra’s got a nice history piece running as today’s feature on the impact of EA’s Pinball Construction Set on the industry as a whole. One of the first games with truly integrated mechanisms for user-generated content, the piece traces routes from PCS to later games like Adventure Master, Adventure Creator, GameMaker and onward to its current pinnacle: LittleBigPlanet.
As a bonus, dig that beauty of a gatefold package for the game, a relic from when EA packaged each of its titles as lovingly and thoughtfully as music albums of the day.
