Finished the listening of the 34 (33.5 still on the pipe)!
I especially loved the Time Pilot segment. I've learned new tips from you chat, like mostly flying to the 'up direction' in order to have more time to react to the enemies, which is totally logical but I just didn't do it (I simply moving my ship in all the directions randomly )
What a great game! And did you know this : "
According to his account, Yoshiki Okamoto's proposal for Time Pilot was initially rejected by his boss at Konami, who assigned Okamoto to work on a driving game instead. Okamoto secretly gave instructions to his programmer to work on his idea, while pretending to be working on a driving game in front of his boss. When Time Pilot was a success, Okamoto's boss claimed credit for Okamoto's idea" (wiki)
My personal best 'Time Pilot' moment was ... when I inserted the CBS COLECOVISION version of that game, back in the eighties.... VERY CLOSE to the arcade version! What a great memories...
Oh, and of course I loved the Alpha One interview!
Damn, I love your podcasts!
Now I can start listening the 33.5
