Interview With Seth aka Dopply Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Here's an interview with game developer Seth Fulkerson, better known in the scene as Dopply. Seth is the dev who completely remastered both of the notorious Philips CDi Zelda games for PC and made them actually playable! His next project is a game meant to be a "spiritual successor" to those two, called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore; There's no official release date for the game, but it's nearing completion and I wanted to chat with Dopply about it!

Here's an interview with Jason, who runs an electronics recycling business. We met at Retro World Expo this year and I really wanted to chat with him - I was hoping to tech him about rescuing certain CRT's and he gave us a pretty cool insight into what electronic recycling is like.
