Very, very occasionally, we will sometimes be able to get out of the office and do a little travelling. While we rarely get to go abroad (most companies don’t promote retro games you see) we do occasionally get to visit our heroes.

One such example was when I was lucky enough to get invited to Rare’s headquarters and interview Wil Overton, Nick Burton and several other team members about JetPac Refuelled (you can read the full interview in Retro Gamer 39.) Anyway, after being shown around, having the interview and reminding myself that few other magazines had received the same privilege, it was time to take the five-hour trip home.

I didn’t leave empty-handed however as I received my very own Piñata and a framed piece of JetPac Refuelled artwork signed by all the developers. Needless to say it was a brilliant end to a rather special day.

A lovely framed piece of art. Don’t worry guys, it hasn’t been flogged on eBay.

Look everyone, it’s Horstachio! Play’s art editor, Justyn Chan slyly hides in the background, Thundercats  toys just out of  sight.
