Dave Perry Interview

[@stoned466]

Dave Perry rocks he was a great gamer back in the day, loved Gamemaster.

[@stevef38]

Enjoyed that. Also great insight into 90s games and magazine production

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Really good wasn’t it, so chilled and relaxed yet very interesting too. Glad you enjoyed it Steve 🙂

[@maxhammer4067]

He went for the short cut 😂

[@Rwirwi1]

Very cool, thank you. Dave, If you read these comments... GM and GW were the high watermark of TV gaming... which imo hasn't been superseded. You were awesome on both. Thank you sir 👍

[@MrElusive79]

Well done, good interview, enjoyed it.

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Much appreciated! Dave was a really nice guy too

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

Enjoyed this Alex, great interview.

[@blazzing]

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)

[@stuartrafferty4289]

Dave Perry great guy loved him on games master

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Yeah I did too, Gamesmaster was brilliant and from the interview you know how much the show meant to him. Thanks for watching

[@vauxhalldotnet]

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

He is a fantastic guy and thank you for watching

[@robevamy]

Iv got alot of time for dave, great interview😍 my wife came in and heard it and said “christ, what on earth are you watching now?” I simply told her to “sod off” as the games animal was talking👍

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Hahaha you tell her! Yeah he’s fantastic, the stories he tells are great as is his KZbin channel. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@dragoneyeblaze5804]

Great interview. Nice casual insight 👍

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Thank you, he was brilliant wasn’t he. Really glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@danieljacques5733]

I like what I see of Dave Perry, always have since I was a kid.

[@rollerxcore]

did you ask Jim will Fix it to speak to dave perry? ;) fun interview! dave has the best stories!

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

No thankfully 😅 I just had to sell a kidney! 😂 But yeah Dave was brilliant and I enjoyed listening to him

[@Right_Said_Brett]

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.

[@axe6279]

Would it be out of line to ask him for a Mario tattoo?😗

[@jameswalt1]

Great listen!

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Thank you James I have to say that Dave was a pleasure to speak to, it was a shame that it was only an hour. Thanks for watching

[@ianfergalfarrar]

Yeah unfortunately Dave you got your quote wrong it wasn't Ken who said "go home and be a family man" it was Guile sorry to be the killjoy 😳

[@BenGmanUk]

Just noticed that ha.

[@kevinedward6132]

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.

[@BILLTHORPE]

Nice little chat!!

[@Chris_34]

"and on that bombshell!"

[@edmundzimmatore9324]

Dave’s best skill was a reviewer.

[@rodgyretro]

Always enjoy watching a Dave Perry interview, the man is such a humble everyday legend. Good job Alex-just don't forget the girls in bikini's in future!

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Yeah he’s a really nice guy with some fantastic stories to tell. Hahaha seriously though look at me, do I look as though I know any bikini babes 😂 Glad you enjoyed it though and thank you for watching 👍

[@stevied6965]

Good video. 👍🏻

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Thank you, it was a brilliant chat with Dave

[@JoeyXSmith]

Shame that Dave and Dominik didn't get on very well later on in the series. Bit of a bully towards Dave and slowly took creative control over the show.

[@GriffosRetroGaming]

Shows Dave’s character that he harbours no ill feelings towards Dominik
