BILL HINDORFF
|
|
TENGEN PROGRAMMER
|
 |
Welcome to another interview with a former NES programmer, this time it's no other than Bill Hindorff. Say who? you might say? Well Bill worked at Tengen and
coded Super Sprint as well as being producer on most other Tengen NES releases. When I spoke with Bill he was working for the 3DO company and had previously
been "VP of product Development" at Midway, a job he unfortunately had to leave.

 |
Another day, another NES WORLD interview. This time it's Franz Lanzinger, a former Tengen programmer who later created Bitmasters along with Dave O'Riva who also
used to work for Tengen. Their first project at Bitmasters was a NES game called Krazy Kreatures which they sold to American Video Entertainment. A few more games
followed but this time they were picked up by licensed companies.

IAN BELL
|
|
ELITE FAME ... ALSO REVEALS THE NES TANK DEMO
|
 |
A lille chat about the game Elite as well as another NES game Ian Bell has in the worked, unfortunately it was released. The interview should've included a little
bit about the Brabel and Bell team break up, but there's clearly a lot of things still going on between the two of them regarding copyrights and such, it's a mess
to be honest, so I decided to keep that discussion to a minimum.

JON VALESH
|
|
COLOR DREAMS FAME
|
|
A chat about Hellraiser, which Valesh worked on, then a little bit about the Color Dreams development kit and many other neat things. Definately worth reading,
if I may say so.

DUDES WITH ATTITUDE, COMPU TRAINER, TAITO RELEASE OF INDIANA JONES
|
 |
Here's a small interview with Michael Crick who wrote two games for American Video Entertainment, Dudes with Attitude and the sequel to that game, Trolls on
Treasure Island. Since then he hasn't been involved in anything regarding video games, but who knows we may see a PC version of Dudes with Attitude sometime? :)

NINA STANLEY
|
|
COLOR DREAMS GIRL DRAWING UP GRAPHICS FAME, WOOT!
|
|
Nina Stanley, the woman responsible for a lot of the Color Dreams game graphics made. I had been searching for quite some time before I finally was
able to track down Nina. To my surprise her name appeared in the game credits for the 3DO release of Battletanx, so I of course contacted 3DO and was lucky
enough to get her email address, and this interview came to life.

RICHARD FRICK
|
|
FOUNDER OF AMERICAN VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT
|
 |
This guy has been working quite a few places in the entertainment business. Before founding American Video Entertainment Richard Frick was working for Atari,
after American Video Entertainment folded around 1994 he went to work for Equilibrium and from there he more or less left the video game business. This is
probably the most interesting interview at least for me as a fan of unlicensed NES game companies. Richard Frick also tells us a little bit about American Game
Carts Inc.

STEVE HUGHES
|
|
SOLAR JETMAN PROGRAMMER, A GAME WELL WORTH A TRY
|
|
A long time ago I had a small chat with Steve Hughes about an old NES classic from Rare called Solar Jetman. It was sort of a hit in Europe but never really
caught the attention of US gamers. I've later discovered that Steve actually worked for Zippo Games and they were subcontracted from Rare to make the game.

The first NES WORLD interview ever made. Vance Kozik was a game programmer at the unlicensed NES game outlet (company) Color Dreams programmer and the inventor of my
all time favourite Color Dreams game, as well as being the first unlicensed NES game I ever got. Later on he worked on Wisdom Tree's Zelda clone called Spiritual
Warfare before leaving the company along with founder Dan Lawton to form another company called StarDot, creating professional webcam equipment.
