GDC Festival of Gaming
Jonathan Blow's GDC talk explains how the time-rewind mechanic in Braid was designed and implemented, including the technical hurdles such as memory limits and state history. It covers both design and engineering concerns.
HN commenters cite it as the reference for how a rewind system works and as a point of comparison for undo and serialization approaches.
