Ban Tran, the creator of the first named, playable woman character in a home console game, has been found! We have an exclusive clip of her interview with Kevin Bunch from Atari Archive, an equally exclusive talk with Kate Willaert, the woman who helped find the illusive, innovative creator.

Then Tanya and Jonathan review of a new and "improved", heaving version of the arcade classic Qix called Mokoko X. Daniel even did a song about it!
