Where did the Popeye carting image come from? I worked on a mobile phone Popeye Kart thing years ago and it reminds me of that.

It’s by an artist called Jeremy Roberts who did say to me that it was originally for a Popeye karting game that never got finished.

I don't think it would have been for our game as they were digital only. More concerning for me is that it was 13 years ago!

Wii is retro...

[Swainy]

I must have missed that bit. We are old gits though and anything after the PlayStation feels new to me.

 

Ahh, mentioned it as a joke.

Anyway good show. Good luck on the gaming challenge.

Cheers mate. Catch up on a few past episodes if you can.

[Soulstar]

Been listening to the FFVII episode too.
