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!
