About this episode
This week we’re joined by Matt Porter, former programmer at Argonaut Software and one of the key developers behind Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. Matt shares inside stories from the development of titles like Creature Shock, Scooby-Doo Mysteries, and SWAT: Global Strike Team, delves into the challenges of porting games across wildly different platforms, and teases some fascinating lost betas and unreleased gems he’s been finding on 30-year-old hard drives.Dovetail Games: https://dovetailgames.com/Contents:00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories 37:40 - Matt Porter InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Sheffield Gaming Market: https://www.sheffieldgamingmarket.com/Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.comTake your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohourWe need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourGet your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKdJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesJames Pond Revival and AI Campaign: https://tinyurl.com/9wafa3zxBitmap Bureau Terminator Game Delay: https://tinyurl.com/yry357hpGame Gear Camera Mod Using GBC Hardware: https://tinyurl.com/msrus64rRare 3DO M2 Console Withdrawn from Sale: https://tinyurl.com/4z6hv5h7Super Mario Bros.
