I had a great chat with the Retro Hour guys, though it’s surreal to be on the same show that’s featured so many of your game development heroes over the years.
This week, we’re joined by game designer and author Stuart Maine, whose 28-year career spans iconic titles like Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper, and G-Police: Weapons of Justice. We also dive into his latest book Hurt Me Plenty which explores the blockbuster FPS era of 2003–2010 #podcast #retrogaming
