378: Midway Magic and Strategic Simulations: Brian Lowe's Game-Changing Career - The Retro Hour EP378

We sit down with Brian Lowe, a veteran in the gaming industry, known for his work at Strategic Simulations and Midway. We explore his early gaming experiences, his shift from testing to production, and his unique perspective on the evolution of the industry.

Lowe shares his experiences on working on legendary titles like Pools of Darkness, Eye of the Beholder 2, and the challenges of porting games like NBA Hangtime from console to PC, and the pressures of handling high-profile titles like "Mortal Kombat Trilogy." We also hear his perspective on early network gaming, his experiences with systems like the Sega Saturn, and his thoughts on underrated 90's gaming mascots.
