Shaun Jex Discusses the World of Disney Video Games AND Remembers the Mighty Halyx!!

We all know that the Walt Disney Company is a huge and diverse conglomerate, from movies to theme parks to cruise lines to streaming networks and beyond.  In between all these offerings, there has also been a fascinating history of Disney video games—from the earliest handheld games of the 80’s to the incredibly immersive 3-D rendered graphics of today.  We are joined by author and friend Shaun Jex to discuss his latest book, Dreaming in Digital: The World of Disney Video Games, and explore this history and talk about some of his favorites.  And, since Shaun is also a fellow Disney music connoisseur, we also dive in to one of the most interesting pieces of Disney musical history—the short-lived, but fascinating rise (and fall), of Halyx, the Kiss- meets-Star Wars rock band that played at Disneyland’s Space Stage during the summer of 1981 (and only the summer of 1981)You can find Shaun's book here on Amazon, and check out his music blog at makeminemusic.com.
