Описание: #EPClassic #Goldeneye #SEGASaturn

Spring is in the air and it’s time to take the field! EP heads to Oakland Coliseum to hang out with New York Yankees greats like Andrew Pettitte and Kenny Rogers and Carlos Reyes from the Oakland A’s. We also get a tip about the motion capture technology being used in sports video games from Brett England at Atari Games.

Turns out MLB players and baseball fans really like video game and EP really likes MLB games!

Tommy Tallarico and Victor Lucas go Head-To-Head with EA Sports’ Triple Play ’98 and Sony Computer Entertainment’s MLB 98 both for the PlayStation.

After our baseball double header, Kelly Benson rocks out at the 1997 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Ontario. Kelly’s mission? To chat with rockstars about video games and so Agent Benson connects with John Kastner from The Doughboys, David Usher from Moist, Bruce Gordon from I Mother Earth, Tyler Stewart from Barenaked Ladies, Jeff Martin from The Tea Party and Ken MacNeil from Rusty.

EP takes a dramatic turn and heads to 3DO in San Mateo, California to chat with Cyclone Studios founder, Helmut Kobler about their brand new hybrid first person shooter and strategy game called Uprising.

After all that combat it’s time for more baseball and so EP heads to SEGA of America’s headquarters for a chat with Product Specialist, Mark Subotnick, to find out about World Series Baseball ’98 for the SEGA Saturn.

Then it’s time for the highlight of this episode a look at the making of Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. We hear from Nintendo’s Alan Belardinelli and the “KLOBB” himself, Mr. Ken Lobb. We also hear from Bond Girls, Maud Adams (“Octopussy” & “The Man With The Golden Gun”) and Grace Jones (“A View To A Kill”)

After the break we hear from Heat.Net’s “The Reverend” who comments on the subject of violence in video games.

For our Question of the Week: Tommy answers, “Why can’t we buy more videogame music (like the WipEout XL soundtrack)?”

In Reviews on The Run, Tommy and Vic look at:

World Series Baseball ’98 for the SEGA Saturn
Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64
