Hello and welcome to another amazing episode of RGDS. 

Today we have a really special episode with us interviewing Mark R. Jones.  An Ocean artist who did such classics as Wizball, Gryzor (Contra), Vindicator to name but a few.

Mark is still an avid collector of all things Spectrum and keeping things preserved. He is also currently working on a tell all book of his time in Ocean and new Spectrum games.  So come and listen to this great interview…
