The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Patrick Collison liked it
There's a closely-related genre of great books (like Masters of Doom and Show-Stopper) that cover important projects in the industry's history.

I was really excited when a friend sent me this book, because it gets right into the details of the history and production of these games that meant so much to me.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
