Hey List,
This message below is a little dated now by afew days. I
accidentally sent it to the old server which sucks cause I'm sure
everyone would have had something to contribute. I went to Hudson's HQ and got to interview a Hudson Exec and
walked away with some great info which will be posted in a fwe weeks on
Hudson's site. Got in some good questions including a comparison of
WonderBoy and Adventure Island which have some seriously obvious
similarities. Hope you all check it out and enjoy it. Below is the old
message. Sorry about that.
Hey all,
List has been quiet but I have some great news. Thanks to Aaron,
I'm hooked up with Hudson Soft and doing some work for them here in Japan in
addition to my regular job (at Berlitz). My first little article on Team Innocent is
already posted at Hudson's site. It probably doesn't feature too much in the way of
new information for those of us who've been around and in tune for a while.
Well, a little surprise came my way this week. Do any of you know
Takahashi Meijin? He's the guy who can fire a button 16 times in a second. He's
also a programmer (now executive) and was responsible for many of our favorite games. He
created and starred in New Adventure Island among other things.
So, I'm just getting my notes together and am wondering if anyone
out there has any questions they'd like me to ask. This is his first interview
for us in the west and I suspect it will be the last.
Needless to say, I've got my Duo controller for him to sign ( I
wish I had my copy of New Adventure Island).
