The Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod

Episode 146: Andrew Fisher, Homebrew Writer for Retro Gamer Magazine


Listen Later

This month on the DreamPod, Lozz and Lewis are joined by freelance video game writer Andrew Fisher to discuss his career and everything Dreamcast homebrew.

With decades of experience in video game journalism, Andrew’s work spans publications such as Wireframe, ZZAP! 64, ZZAP! Amiga, Commodore Force, Commodore Format, Fusion, and of course, Retro Gamer magazine — where he pens his monthly column, “The Homebrewer’s Kit.” With the Sega Dreamcast having become such a prolific console for independent development in recent years, it’s only natural that our scene has crossed Andrew’s radar. In fact, in issue 277 of Retro Gamer, this year’s biggest Dreamcast projects featured prominently in Andrew’s column.
