Richard Moss

I write about people, games, history, science, and things—sharing their stories and finding what makes them special.

My words have appeared on Ars Technica, Eurogamer, GameDeveloper.com (formerly Gamasutra), Mac|Life, MIT Technology Review, Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun, ScienceNews, The Magazine, and many other publications. These days I mainly work on books and documentaries.

My published books:

• The Secret History of Mac Gaming
• Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet
• A Tale of Two Halves: The History of Football Video Games

Documentaries:

• TerrorBytes: The Evolution of Horror Gaming [docuseries, five episodes; I was writer/director]
• FPS: First Person Shooter [film; I was producer/co-writer
• The Life & Times of Video Games[podcast, entirely my work]
• Ludiphilia [podcast, entirely my work]

(I drew the background illustration in MacPaint, taking inspiration from one of the planets in the old Mac game Cosmic Osmo, in case you were wondering.)
