Hi Alex! Just been watching a few of your vids and I've got a couple of Prima official strategy guides I was going to eBay, but saw you have a pretty big collection of them so rather donate them to the channel if you want them? I've got a few charity shop leftover games (as in games I don't collect) that I can throw in too.

I genuinely thought Dave Perry was hamming it up with the Mario challenge because of the comedic nature of Dom and the show. I had no idea that Dave was part of the launch team, let alone editor of multiple magazines. This is a great interview, and Dave speaks so much common sense in this current world(albeit 4 years ago)

Great interview! I love GamesMaster and I think that Dominik Diamond was a fantastic host, but I must say in regards to the whole Mario 64 controversy, that I do believe that Dave Perry was done dirty. They really did set him up and then gaslit him when he (understandably) was upset by the ordeal.Even Diamond himself has since gone on to express regret for the manner in which that whole episode was handled. It's a pity that Perry is now forever associated with that one, single episode, above anything else. Having said that, at least he seems to take it in his stride.

The setup story makes sense tbh if you look back at some of the shit games they ran on that show, the Hell Special of Doom for example when the screen gameplay starts to not even make sense etc. I'm sure going back he could have reacted better but in the moment when someone's taking the piss you react how you react.

@@GriffosRetroGaming Yes my wife and I live in Ohio near Toledo. We do have a very nice local retro store here in Bowling Green called Rockem Sockem and we're lucky to be friends with the owner. He helps organize a couple of conventions each year and we always volunteer to help him. I get to help test the games that come in to the store too which is super cool for me. That way I get to see what's coming in and he knows he's selling games that work. He hates testing because it takes forever and he has better things to do but I don't mind.
