  • I love these little insights into the games industry. Great upload as always Grooveraider :)

  • @oldgamingfart - Thanks oldgamingfart. I'm thrilled you enjoy the clips even though this one came from another site - lol  I uploaded this because i've met Ken Lobb a couple times in the 90s at E3. Before I met him I faxed Nintendo an appreciation notice for Killer Instinct when it was being beta tested here in Los Angeles. Ken Lobb faxed me back with a response and that how I came to know who Ken Lobb was. I love this interview because he's the real deal in the gaming industry.

  • Cool stuff, I met ken a few times at trade shows and when he visited offices, even played him at Killer Instinct, he's one of those really passionate people about games.

    I can't belive he worked on Splatterhouse 2 aswell, that was one of my favourite games when I was in school.

    Fun guy :)
