MMO and internet pioneer Bob Alberti is here to talk about some of the first-ever online games, including Scepter of Goth. Before WOW, before EQ, before UO, before British Legends, there was Scepter of Goth. You don't hear enough about this game and it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves for its historical importance. Bob was also a key figure on the Gopher team, which was a critically important step in the development of the internet and a very interesting story.
