TCW Podcast Episode 162 - Spinnaker Software
Often we laugh at educational games and software. We tend to view the products as jokes and something that cannot fully succeed. In our look at Spinnaker Software, we learn that there is more to it. The company was short-lived but was founded by people with a deep passion for technology and gaming. They released games, and software that helped to show that there is more one can do with a computer than just drills. If one of them went on to become a major World Of Warcraft raid leader it can't all be bad right?
