Steven Spielberg will always be best-known for his movies, but the legendary director also has considerable history with the games industry. Early LucasArts employees recall him phoning up for solutions when he got stuck on their classic adventure games, and after the experience of filming Saving Private Ryan Spielberg was inspired to create a game, and wrote the first in what became the Medal of Honor series. Further dalliances included EA's Boom Blox, an excellent Wii title that's well worth seeking out, and another title so overweeningly ambitious (codenamed LMNO) it never got past the prototype stage.
You could draw a straight line through all this stuff to his adaptation of Ready Player One, and so it's probably no surprise that the great man has passed some of his passion for the medium onto his kids. Spielberg's eldest son, Max, has had a career straddling both film and games, including credits on games like Assassin's Creed: Unity, and is the co-founder and creative director of developer Fuzzybot.
