Interview with Mr. Thomas Jentzsch!

[lazzeri]

   Hello,

 

   I´m an occasional writer for a Brazilian retro video game magazine called "Jogos 80" ("Games 80"). For the latest issue I was lucky enough to interview our own Thomas Jentzsch.

 

   Attached are the original interview in Brazilian Portuguese, and also a rough translation for english - that is not my primary language so please forgive me.

 

  Here´s the magazine cover:

Yeah, some heavy redaction was needed. 😕 

 

(just kidding, of course)

 

BTW, I’d love to interview you someday mr. Davie. 🙂

i was really happy to see this was a print article and not another YouTube video (no offense intended to YouTube creators) since I'm a crotchety old person. 

 

Fantastic read.  Thank you!

Great interview! Thank you for sharing that!

 

I had many discussions with Thomas when we were trying to get all of the NTSC conversions finished. Even though he's a very busy guy, he was always very nice and went above and beyond working on converting the games... even the lousy ones! I also own most of his homebrew games on cartridge. I'm in absolute awe of his programming abilities. Really awesome stuff!
