Its so nostalgic to see Irrational Games from its 1999 beginnings. I’m glad that it developed into such an amazing company. Happy 15th anniversary, Irrational Games! Here’s to more years of glorious games!

There are Thief boxes on the pic with Rob, and there is DromEd opened on the last pic. Hell yeah!

Oh my God, this is awesome. Good times! I used to sport some sweet sideburns like Nate Wells did. I kind of wish someone would’ve hit me with a club too, because I didn’t have the cheekbones for them.

Anyway, this was great to see! Cool post, guys!

Happy 15th! Here’s to another 15, and many more beyond that (hopefully.. yes, it’s a selfish request. I know).

Love these old, “behind the scenes” type photos. Post more!

Also, I believe the stack of casettes is next to the ancient CRT on the left side of that pic, stacked up in front of that blue box. I used to have stacks of those things all over the place, so it’s an all-too-familiar sight.

Anyway, Happy Anniversary once again. Thank You for sharing your talent, imaginationi and insanity with all of us gamers, and may the future bring more of the best to you!

Now where’s my damn bottle of wine.

Oh, man! This may be my favorite Insider blog yet. LOL

You’re a brave group to be sharing all these old photos. Good lord, I forgot how much space a monster *FIFTEEN INCH* CRT took up! (Do I see a Kaypro in there….? Naaaah.)

I was reading the latest Game Informer and thinking about how complex modern game development has become–what with console, PC, mobile platforms, Facebook, various control schemes, etc, etc, etc. How much simpler it must have been back then. Instead of dealing with a million design variables, you just had to slog through a project using primitive tools.

Please follow this up with a look at the current office setup for comparison.
