Game Crimes Episode 4 - Danielle Bunten Berry

Game Crimes Podcast

Episode 4 - Heroes of Games: Danielle Bunten Berry Description: In this episode, we turn our microscope lens to influential transwoman game designer Danielle Bunten Berry. Berry's games laid the foundation for much of what we know about modern multiplayer games and exploring her notes provides us a broader window to discuss queer erasure in video game history. CONTENT WARNING: Telling Danielle's story requires us to discuss some of the extreme transphobia she encountered in her life. GAME CRIMES is a history project by Mike Bachmann (Greetings Adventures Podcast, Roll for Streetwise) and Jay Munford (SHU Podcast, Poor Skeleton Games) detailing the black market history of video games. Each podcast covers a single topic, provides some historical context and reviews a few games related to the topic. On the GAME CRIMES interactive streams, Mike and Jay answer questions, give how-to demonstrations and play these games for the first time. Games Reviewed: M.U.L.E.
