RESEARCH: Barbie as Rapunzel
2021I am obsessed with the videogame Magic Fairytales: Barbie as Rapunzel and I spent months researching the history of it’s development. 

This included interviewing many developers and executives who worked on the game in 1997, scrubbing through hours of expo hall footage, and many creative search terms on the wayback machine.

I wrote a feature about it for Kotaku and published an interview with the original voice of Barbie in GamesHub, but still have a mountain of research about this game and several others I am yet to find a home for. On the very slim chance you have an idea of what to do with this, please hit me up.

My research was featured on the Video Game History Foundation’s podcast.
