  • Gary Bracey - Part 1 - Ocean

    Gary Bracey - Part 1 - Ocean
    Apr 15 2026

    For computer gamers in the 1980s and 90s, few companies were more ever-present than Ocean, a powerhouse in publishing, through their massive ad campaigns and amazing film licenses and coin-op conversions.

    Our guest today, Gary Bracey, was the VP of Development at Ocean and oversaw the production of many a classic, such as Batman, Green Beret and Robocop, to say nothing of being their in-house go-to guy for judging film licenses.

    Gary tells us about life in the Ocean dungeon, the amazing youngsters that coded the titles and what it took to get them to market.

    Phil Adam - Spectrum Holobyte, SPA, Interplay, Amico
    Mar 12 2026

    Phil Adam's career has spanned more than 40 years, from pioneering work marketing titles for Spectrum Holobyte, playing a pivotal role in bringing Tetris to the West, working at Interplay during the RPG renaisance and his current work as head of Amico.

    Highs and lows in a career that has seen gaming grow up and maybe, find its youthful core once again.
