My Favourite Game returns once again with a new episode of The Lost Tapes mini-series. This one is slightly shorter than usual, but still a really fun episode recorded back towards the end of 2017.
Alex Hutchinson, co-founder of Typhoon Studios and creative director on Journey to the Savage Planet as well as Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 3 from his days at Ubisoft, talks of 1988 BBC Micro metroidvania sci-fi explorer Exile as his favourite game.
Here, he talks of the game in detail, importing games for the Amiga from the UK all the way to his homeland of Australia and that time he packed up to start a new life in the States for a new job at EA only to find that job was no longer happen (but to subsequently find his way onto the team at Maxis for the development of Spore).
It's a fun episode. And as you may have heard towards the end of the episode, we discussed our respective games of the year.
You can expect the last few episodes of this mini-season to drop over the course of the month ahead of a full-fledged Season 5 later in the year.
See you for the next one.
