It’s our second day of live audio broadcasts from the GameCity festival in Nottingham.

Join us for an hour of chat with legendary game designer Martin Hollis (GoldenEye, Perfect Dark), Dan Pinchbeck co-founder of The Chinese Room (Dear Esther, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture) and Gary Penn of Denki, who oversaw the first two Grand Theft Auto titles, and wrote for seminal Commodore 64 magazine, ZZap 64. We’re also joined by UK industry veteran Alison Beasley.

While Martin and Dan cover the stresses and challenges of game development, as well as the responsibilities of the early access model, Gary and Alison chat about the UK games industry of the 1980s and 1990s – it was a very, very different place.
