    Quoted from jwilson:

    There's a few interviews with Premiere people who explain what it was like working there.

    I know Jon Norris's blog has a couple posts with some really great information; would you happen to know where we could find other interviews?

    Quoted from quinntopia:

    a lot of the themes from Bally and Williams (I think) were pretty cheesey too, so it's probably not too fair to Gottlieb to pick on just Gottlieb.

    I guess it depends on how you'd define "cheese." But I agree. Look at a game like Earthshaker, Whirlwind, or Taxi. Total cheese-fests. But it's a different kind of cheese. A palatable cheese that has aged well.

    Gottlieb's cheese aged about as well as Hammer Pants have.

    Quoted from SealClubber:

    but others were just horrid (Genesis).

    It's a shame that Genesis's backglass is so bad... I quite like the game otherwise.
