Sorry to also be a weirdo jumping into the replies but Crawford's interviews with Edge from the '90s are just gold and well worth seeking out (issue 29, both are also included in EDGE File Vol. 3, I can share a scan if you need it)

I didn't know her name as she's not listed on the arcade's site, or as one of the founders (only Marty is)

I find that guessing someone's name is even more offensive than not including it 😅
