April 15, 2019 The Retro Rents -- EP037 -- The Coles Interview
HELLO EVERYBODY!

This is another special episode of The Retro 'Rents! Nick and sat down and got to interview two of my (RetroRentsAl) heroes in the game development industry: LORI AND COREY COLE of TRANSOLAR GAMES!
Creators of the Quest for Glory series and the recently released (and freaking awesome) Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption.
Lori and Corey were just awesome, so open and honest about their pasts, the game design industry past and present, and even had some wonderful advice for anyone wanting to get into game development.
If you enjoy this interview, and if Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption sounds like something you'd enjoy you should TOTALLY get it!
It's available here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/375440/HeroU_Rogue_to_Redemption/
And here on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/herou_rogue_to_redemption
It's $19.99 and it's such a wonderful spiritual successor to the Quest for Glory series. And it's LONG (25+ hours...i'm on hour 30 lol).
Hope you all enjoy this interview as much as Nick and I did!!!
Til Next Week, keep on playing games,
-- @RetroRentsAl

March 15, 2019The Retro Rents -- Ep035 - Christy Marx Interview
Welcome one and all to a special episode! This time we interview Screenwriter, Game Designer, Comic writer, Book writer and all around FREAKING LEGEND of a story teller, Christy Marx!
Christy talks about the "wild west" days of Sierra, where game design didn't have instruction manuals and people were blazing trails as they went. She talks about working with the great Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and stories of her many many projects which include but are in no way limited to:
TV
Jem and the Holograms (original)
Conan the Adventurer
GI-Joe

Computer and Video Games
Working at Sierra
Conquests of Camelot
Conquests of the Longbow
And SO MUCH MORE. Seriously, she rocked, and this episode is a truly incredible trip into the history of tv animation, comic books and game design.
