In this episode I catch up with my childhood friend Mark Parker. Mark played the machines in the Sunspot and when leaving school, embarked on an interesting career in the video games industry for Eidos & I.O. interactive. He is now Producer, Writer and Partner at The Bearded Ladies who are responsible for the highly rated Mutant Year Zero and The much anticipated Myasma Chronicles. Mark talks to me about the older systems, playtesting and of course the Sunspot Arcade!
