But it was a private reunion of course, of which there is no record. He said something about being on the process of translating the video interview Chahi made, exclusively released in the French version of Another World 15th Anniversary. I'll be honest here, I don't know a thing about French... I remember db saying that Mechner had met Chahi in person around 1992. But it was a private reunion of course, of which there is no record.

I think Eric Viennot knew Chahi personally, and agreed to be the linguistic in-between and interviewer. I'd *love* to see a video interview some day, but I can't imagine that happening unless Mechner spends some more time out in Paris some day. Thanks for the response Holly!

I've been asking for this for a long time. Glad someone worked out how to unite two of the most brilliant game design luminaries in one place. Dieubussy was so right when he described this link as some sort of spiritual bond (when isn't he right, anyway?) I've given much thought to this matter... sure wish I could see an actual video interview to see how the two lone game designers would react to one another. Wouldn't you? A memorable moment.
