The big Thalamus interview with Andy Roberts - Creatures, Roguecraft, Cecconoid, Zzap64!, Commodore Format & more
from Retro Titans - the giants of retro and indie gaming in conversation · host Phil Szomszor
For 8-bit home computing fans, Thalamus is one of the great names of the late 80s and early 90s, publishing classics such as Creatures I & II, Hunters Moon, Hawkeye and Armalyte. When the company went bankrupt in the early 1990s, everyone thought the story was over - but the rights to the games were bought by former Commodore Format games writer Andy Roberts, and the company was reborn. This interview with Andy Roberts tells the full story of Thalamus's heyday, decline and return, including insights into the 80s/90s games industry, writing for Zzap64! and Commodore Format, publishing games in the early noughties and two of the latest games, Ceccanoid and Roguecraft. 🔗 Links: Website - thalamusdigital.co.uk Itch IO - thalamusdigital.itch.io Facebook - @thalamusdigital X - @thalamusdigital Bluesky - thalamusdigital.bsky.social Evercade - Thalamus Collection 1 🎵 Music: Neon Gaming, by Dope Stuff Wizzball (C64 remix), by Martin Galway and remixed by Tonka
