The DoFuss Show – Yes, that really is Jon Hare, not Darren.

June 3rd, 2009 Posted by Alex Beech

We are late, but contrary to my usual apologetic fashion there will be no ‘sorry’ (apart from for my musical interlude). It is packed front to back with gaming fun and discussion.

This episode is longer that usually to accommodate Darren’s recent interview with the legendary Jon Hare of Sensible Software fame. It kicks off at the fifty three minute mark (just in case you want to jump straight to the Sensible Soccer discussion).

Apart from that we quickly hit up what we have been playing before diving into news and predictions for E3. Unfortunately as this has ended up being posted after all the press conferences so you will instantly know if we were on the money or not, all I will say is that we were kind of close, sort of. We wrap up with the return of Darren’s old games, and talk of the amazing Turrican.

Hope you enjoy, and we may even manage two more shows this month to make up for the light May.

    I think I would have enjoyed the interview more if I knew something about Sensible Software, but it was still great to hear about games from the good ol’ Commodore 64 days. And while the Mega Drive was known as Genesis in the US, I can assure you that the Super Nintendo was better, so Super > Mega.

    Did anyone ever enter the Metroid competition? If not I’d like to submit my winning entry of 250.

    That rings a bell… Alex? What have we committed to sending to this gentleman? A seemingly impossible question but actually someone has answered it… You’ll pay Kam. You’ll pay…

    I’ve answered it (albeit incorrectly) but as the sole entry i’m the nearest! Sorry to deny you as the default winner Darren, but if you have any gripes you can ‘come round my ass’ and make your grievances known lol!

    No no, fair is square and we’ve announced your victory on our latest audio show. Congrats sir! Now, do you have a platform to play it on?

    It was the Gameboy version of Metroid 2… Do you have something that plays classic GB games? Or do I also need to be sending a 3 quid GB Pocket?

    I must have missed something. What Metroid competition was this?

    For Metroid 2 on the Game Boy. Would have been back in the old shows, before the intro music ever existed.
