Hi Jeremiha, I asked Faran your question and here is his response: Don't recall off hand but I'm sure things got cut due to scheduling...much like the framerate in super cross Kind regards, Adrian.

Let me see what I can do!

Thank you all! I will ask all the (nice) questions above! Do appreciate this!

I never knew about the Heart of Darkness link! What a story - if true!

It is a crazy question for sure! But one that needed answering! LOL!

Thanks my friend. Leonard is a true legend.

This will be done!

Sorry, I just couldn't fit in every question. I can ask Faran via email if you like and reply on this thread if / when he replies?

I may soon have the chance to pick the brains of Stephen A Mitchell. He was the director for Highlander: The Last of the MacLeods for the Jag CD for a future Arcade Attack text interview. Are there any questions you would love me to ask him? Thanks all!

Thanks all for the kind words about the interview. I loved the chat with Faran and I hope it helped answer a few questions. I hope everyone is well.

Thanks Sabertooth! Lovely reply. I thought Faran was an amazing guest and shared some top stories. I do appreciate you giving the podcast a listen.

He also worked on loads of great Gameboy games including R-Type DX, Bionic Commando and also produced a lot of quality Disney games. Do you have any questions you would love me to ask?

Brain Dead 13 is one of the rarest Atari Jaguar CD games! I managed to get my grubby mitts on a copy! I decided to record my initial first impressions and my son Tate's and include some very amateur game play footage! Enjoy! Any fans of this interactive movie game?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9PoDoN8T-4

I agree! Great for mates! LOL!

Thank you! Yup, for me WTR is the best, then Vid Grid! $10 is still a good deal, but I do understand your feelings.

Joshua, thank you. This is lovely feedback. I am a huge fan of the game. And I agree, Another World is close to art!

Thanks for listening and thank you for the kind feedback.

My pleasure Ash! Enjoy!
