Tanrunomad Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 As the author of my favorite 8-bit computer game, Drelbs, I was super excited to get a chance to sit down with Kelly Jones and learn about how Drelbs was created and the behind-the-scenes stories of Synapse, in general. The game just celebrated its 40th birthday, too! I hope you all enjoy it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Always good to see Synapse get some attention. They made a lot of my favorites. Their shmups were the best on the platform BITD, and I'm always down for Phroah's Curse. However Drelbs--I distinctly remember a having a pirated disk of it and it never working. So I'll have to check it out next time I'm near an a8. looks fun. Edited August 12, 2023 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanrunomad Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Yes, you should absolutely check it out. Synapse deserves more attention and Kelly shared some awesome stories relating to their success and ultimately how Atari forced them out of business. He also talks about the techniques they used to develop their games. Super cool and fascinating stuff!
