Nice. Star fox naturally evolved into Guardian for the superior Amga platform

Exactly the opposite, as Guardian is free and not "on rails", the problems described in this little interview (hard to find enemies in 3D space) appear. Guardian was a piece of shit game, and the Amiga wasn't really a platform superior to the SNES.

The interview shows very well what makes Nintendo games so good, it's their focus on gameplay rather on coder pr0n.

Akira, cool your jets! It was a joke.

The irony is: Japanese coder, once the best game designer, produces mostly crappy games since years.

I work with an ex-colleague of Dylan actually, and have met him a few times at events here in Japan. Nice guy. He's certainly been through a lot.

Recently we had an event here called BitSummit that was sponsored by Dylan's company Q-Games. I should have asked him about Starglider 2..
