I somehow managed to steal Brian away from his booth at the Houston Arcade and Pinball Expo to get him to regale his time working at Bally–Midway on a little game called Rampage.
You know, the game that’s being turned into a movie. With The Rock.
This is my best friend, George. A rare gigantic albino Silverback.
I love animals because they’re honest. If they like you, they lick you. If they don’t, they eat you.

Over the course of the interview Brian talks a bit about his time working in film and animation prior to working in games, about working on Discs of Tron and the limitations of working with a mere 16 pixels, the bad press that they had to deal with re: nudity in Rampage, about why him and Jeff Nauman were such a dynamite duo, the reasoning behind the use of videodiscs by Bally-Midway, and more. It’s a lot better coming from Brian, seriously.
