Toys that Create Worlds

Hello, here is an old talk on Ted by Will Wright, where he presents his new game project.

I guess that his project turned out to be commercialized as a game called Spore, which I never tried, though as for I have seen turned out to be a bit disappointing.

But still I leave you with the reminiscence of what I think is a great project, and very interesting idea, as it can actually educate children on topics such as space colonization, terraforming, space travel and even evolution.
