In this episode of The Electric Playground we kick things off with Kelly Benson’s question: “Who Is Lord British?” and then EP visits Origin Systems in Austin, Texas where Victor Lucas catches up with Lord British himself, and the creator of the Ultima series, Richard Garriott. Victor also chats with Ultima Online director, Starr Long, Paul Sage from the Q.A. department and Chris Yates, the chief technical officer, about this incredibly complex and groundbreaking online experience.
Then Tommy Tallarico takes EP to the European Computer Trade Show in London and we learn about the making of FIFA 98 with producer, Marc Aubanel (incorrectly labelled as Nick Malaperiman-sorry Nick and Marc!), as well as soccer star, David Ginola. Then Tommy chats with the founder and president of Interplay, Brian Fargo. Then Tommy gets into all kinds of trouble at the show-check out the rad Psygnosis Wipeout XL motion pod!
After the break EP heads to Iguana Entertainment where Victor chats with Darren Stubbington about the formation of the studio, the sale to Acclaim and the development of NFL Quarterback Club for the NIntendo 64. Victor also speaks with Dave Dienstbier, the project manager of Turok for the N64 and Darren breaks down how the tech for the dinosaur shooter helped them make a state of the art football game in 1997 for Nintendo’s console. Then Kelly sits down the rock band, Skunk Anansie and talks to them about Lara Croft and their take on video games.
When The Electric Playground returns from break it’s back to the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically to a houseboat in Sausalito, home of Illusions Gaming, makers of Necessary Evil (unfortunately never released). Tommy chats with creative director, Darren Bartlett, while Victor has a conversation with James Coliz, the technical director for the game.
For the Question of the Week, David Perry from Shiny Entertainment answers “Why are European developers producing such great games”
In Reviews on the Run we look at:
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the PlayStation
Croc; Legend of the Gobbos for the PlayStation
Mischief Makers for the Nintendo 64

I remember watching this episode live back in '97. I was fresh outta high school living my best life just hanging at the mall and knee deep in some Sega Saturn and N64. Had my friends over all the time after work for split screen Goldeneye deathmatches but that was later in the year. I was so hyped for Turok and bought it day one in March that year. I remember thinking the graphics were amazing! A beautiful time in my life ❤
Goldeneye and Turok were literally the 1st FPS games I played. They walked so Halo and COD could run.
@@Clos93 true true
@@MizzahTee speaking of Saturn, there's been recent developments in a flashcart solution for loading games from a SD card. It's called the Saroo. It's just a Ram cart that acts as a 1mb-4mb ram expansion, individuals saves, and lets you load up games with about 90% compatibility. Shits only $60.
20:27 Sympatico! They were our dial-up internet provider until Shaw introduced “always on” cable internet.
OH wow... I totally forgot about Shaw! I now have to go on the google.
Update: Ha, my home town. They're rebranded/merged as early as 2023 with Rogers.
Thank you for continuing to upload these! I look forward to them every weekend.
Seeing EP cover a British game show ALL the way back in S1, makes me a bit sad that EP never made British and Irish airwaves, but thankfully, you can online (as I discovered when I lived there between 2010-2014, on the website at the time).
Cool. I actually played UO right when it came out in 97 i was 12 lol I remember getting it in the big box with the classic ultima cloth map and stuff.
Ultima online was a special place in it's early days. Loved seeing that throwback. I spend so much time of my formative years in that game. It was truly special and one of a kind
"The graphics in Croc look better than Mario(64)." - Tommy Tallarico 23:01
We should have known something was wrong with that dude then...
Tommy is so basic. Always comes down to graphics with him. Also 8.5 for Croc did not age well 😂
@@betweenthewheel So true. The one thing I remember about this show is Tommy constantly hating on Nintendo. And yeah Croc. I own it on Sega Saturn. Not terrible just overwhelmingly ok. Not special
@@betweenthewheelAgreed, his takes were always so superficial while Vic seemed like more of a seasoned core gamer.
Another killer episode Vic
fun to see vintage Lord British! Grew up an Ultima kid!
Being able to play UO with thousands of players back in 1998 blew my mind.
24:11 Tommy like 'I'm gonna go smoke this guy, I'm tired of him messing up our review.' 😆😂
Vic didn't age. Omg. He's a vampire
What an amazing, cheerful time, industry just starting to really grow. Competitive, but not terribly-so. Great episode. Turns out spatial awareness is also great for video games. ;)
Thanks you for the upload wow hearing talk about Lara and the thing about a "virtual pop star" that's what we have today with AI Virtual UA-cam personalities
15:25 Illusions Gaming made 2 Beavis and Butthead games and [a/the] Duckman game (not sure if more than one exists). They also made a few other games. None of the 6 games had particularly good reviews.
The game discussed here -Necessary Evil- was cancelled and never launched. I'm guessing the fact that their games weren't getting particularly good reviews (or ultimately sales) probably played a major role in that.
It's wild how back then we wouldn't think graphically Mischief Makers holds up better today, when looking at the old 3d games.
UO is still my best video game experience I’ve ever had. Nothing beats those first few years exploring that mmorpg
Excellent!!
UO Outlands it lives on!
This takes be back. Crash 2 is still very fun to play.
Thumbs up 👆 episodes ❤
Better days!
I always imagined Lord British talking in a really bad British accent.
Has Vic ever changed hair styles in the last 30 years?
Wicked
UO was the first game to almost ruin my life 😁
Tommy worked closely with a certain Japanese dev...
it looks like watching TV lol
Why in the world did you guys shoot the ROTR in that court? That had to be an absolute bitch to shoot in! LOL
The weirder the location for ROTR, the better. They even did one in the bathtub
I come from the future to let you know Tommy and his cousin Steven Tylor are out here and they did something really bad Tommy must be stopped!
