EP Classic #2 - DIDDY KONG RACING / STEVE VAI & JOE SATRIANI / SKULLMONKEYS - S1E2 (1997)

Описание: #SkullMonkeys #DiddyKongRacing #KenLobb

In this week’s episode of The Electric Playground—our second episode ever—Victor Lucas travels to Nintendo of America in Redmond Washington to chat with game industry luminary, Ken Lobb about the eternally delightful Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64!

Then Tommy Tallarico visits with Dreamworks Interactive in Los Angeles, California to chat (and break things) with Patrick Gilmore, Producer, and Sunil Thankamushy, Animator, of The Lost World: Jurassic Park for PlayStation and SEGA Saturn.

After that Kelly Benson heads to a bustling arcade to catch up with guitar gods, Steve Vai and Joe Santriani, and asks about their work in video games!

After the break, Tommy makes a mess visiting Doug TenNapel and the Neverhood to discuss the production of the claymation PlayStation classic, Skullmonkeys. Also in this piece watch out for game industry veterans: Kenton Leach, Mark Lorenzen, Joseph A. Sanabria, Mike Dietz, Luis Gigliotti and Brian Belfield.

When EP returns after the break Victor chats with Heat.Net’s Sarah Mason about their plans to create multiplayer games for up to 1,000,000 players and we hear from “The Reverend” who tells us about the potential of multiplayer games.

In the second ever Reviews on the Run, Tommy and Vic review:

Porsche Challenge for PlayStation
Fighters Megamix for SEGA Saturn
3D Ultra Minigolf for PC
