MCV magazine Interview 06 Sep, 2002 / Comments: 6

By Spaff


This weeks MCV, "The Market for Home Computing and Video Games," the UK based Games industry paper, has an interview with Simon Jeffery about LucasArts' 20th. He offers this insight:
When Monkey Island 2 came out in 1992, one of my colleagues at Electronic Arts brought me over the box to look at. I was drinking milk at the time and when I read the bit about 'laugh so hard milk will come out of your nose' I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nose! True story!
The article then goes on to say that, speaking of milk, maybe LucasArts "tugged on the Episode 1 teat a little too hard."

As well as the interview, the cover has a nice 20th anniversary logo on it, whilst the reverse is a poster of the Heros for the next generation. Im not sure if its available in newsagents, but it should be dammit!
