Interviewing Simon Phipps - The man behind Rick Dangerous

I had the honor of spending a couple of hours interviewing Simon Phipps. Back in 1988 he was one of the co-founders of Core Design which just a year later released Rick Dangerous. Obviously it was a team effort which he talks about in this interview. Watch it for deep dive into game development in the dawn of 8 & 16 bit gaming, and his later work on titles such as Harry Potter, GoldenEye 007, Burnout: Paradise, and many many more ...

Hope to be able to talk with Stuart "Stu / Dangerstu " Gregg about making the C64 versions of Rick Dangerous and his time before during and after as well. Fingers crossed.

Thank you ‪@SimonPhippsArt‬ !
