This week on The Electric Playground we jump into our spinners and Victor Lucas heads to E3 1997 in Atlanta to talk with senior producer, Donny Blank, from Westwood Studios about their iconic Blade Runner video game. We learn that many of the original actors from Ridley Scott’s movie masterpiece are also included in the game and make cameos in our piece, including Joe Turkel, William Sanderson, Brion James and Sean Young!

After the break, EP heads to Nintendo of America in Redmond Washington to catch up with the one and only, Alan Belardinelli, who breaks down all of the features and some of the secrets of Bomberman 64 for the Nintendo 64! Then Kelly Benson chats with Alec Empire, Hanin Elias and Carl Crack (Rest in Peace) from the rock band, Atari Teenage Riot about their music and their love of games.

When we return from break, Tommy Tallarico catches up with the president of SEGA, Bernie Stolar (Rest in Peace), who gives The Electric Playground an epic overview of his incredible career and contributions to video games, as well as a look forward to future SEGA Saturn games with a tease of what’s to come for the company…

When The Electric Playground comes back from break, Heat.Net’s “The Reverend” breaks down how people can participate in tournaments and Bill Roper from Blizzard Entertainment answered the Question of the Week: “How is the artwork prepared in Adventure Games?”

IN Reviews on the Run we look at:
