Amazing and intensely interesting 1989 discussion between Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Horii

Wow the stuff that's talked about here! Games I love like Dragon Quest IV(one of my favourites of the series) and earlier, Zelda 3(obviously brilliant) and earlier and even brief mentions of the amazing adventure game Portopia and the first game in a series I'm taking an interest in, Itadaki Street. (our first release being Boom Street when it comes out in Ireland here at the start of the new year)

Another couple of very interesting things are talked about like the RPG elements that were intended for Zelda 3, memory limitations, save features, game cartridge shortages, Famicom disks and in general a snapshot of what 1989 was like and where some truly classic games came from.

I consider it essential reading! :)
