A little over twenty years ago, the ambitious and widely hyped PC strategy title Republic: The Revolution (Eidos) arrived to mixed reviews. Developed over several years by Elixir Studios under the direction of Demis Hassabis – now CEO of Google DeepMind – the game generated significant anticipation, appearing on the cover of Edge magazine as early as 1999. Its score received a BAFTA nomination for Original Music in 2004 and employed an innovative, proprietary interactive music system that anticipated techniques only widely adopted years later.
