Hey all, I apologize for the late post. I'm currently overseas for Tokyo Game Show and had intended to upload the podcast this morning (my time, which would have been late Friday U.S. time)... but I stupidly left my computer's AC adapter at the hotel I checked out of yesterday and ran out of battery juice before I could upload the file. Zut alors! But all is well: My computer has power, and you have a podcast. Please enjoy.
This episode is, I hope, the first of many to come in a series. The premise here is to dive a little more deeply into the formative gaming years as experienced by peers, friends, and colleagues in countries outside of the three that dominate classic gaming conversations: The U.S., the U.K., and Japan. What was popular in other regions? How did their own heritage of game development reflect that country's relationship to the medium? And so forth.
To kick things off, friend of the podcast Thomas Nickel steps in to share the German perspective. More to come, I hope!
