Two out of three people in the credits of #Gossip became big names in the industry. #ChrisCrawford for his phenomenal indie runaway success with Balance of Power, at a time when "indie" didn't even exist. #AricWilmunder as one of the fathers of the Lucasfilm SCUMM system. Reason enough to have a look at this early collaboration.
