Hello everyone! This is the second part of the recent interview I did with famed game developer and producer Dan Kitchen, who was very generous with his time in talking about his career. This part of the interview focuses on his SNES days and what's he done since then, and the work he is doing to finish one of his unfinished Atari 2600 Activision games, Gold Rush! Many thanks to him again for the time.

Hello everybody! Welcome to a special episode of the SNES Podcast where I am most pleased and honored to have had the chance to interview one of the great game programmers of our time, Dan Kitchen! Dan has a extensive history of working in the game industry going back over 40 years, and is one of the few 'golden age' people still active in the industry today. In this part of the interview most of the talk is on pre-SNES stuff such as his work with Activision and why he programmed some 2600 games in the late 80's. Part two will be out next week!

In this episode George returns to the podcast to talk about with Gren an obscure Japanese only RPG -- Dark Half! Published by Enix, this late SNES game with isometric graphics has split action between two main characters, one good and one evil, and brings a lot of new elements to the table. We discuss how well all this works, how the game plays, and how it holds up today.

Also, the podcast will be taking a break for a while due to real life issues. Special episodes may come out, but the plan is for the podcast to return on a regular basis in early May. As always thanks for your support!
