Do you have any links to rare, retro interviews with game devs/artists/composers? Post em here. I found this interview saved deep within my bookmarks folders and it influenced me to make this thread. This is an interview with the composer of NiGHTS.

I love showing this to people.
Interview with Stewart Copeland, drummer of The Police and wizard behind the original Spyro trilogy music. He even shows you how he did what he did, which is a fascinating look into musical technology of the day.Bonus points if you know the song he showcases in the video without checking

>1UP: Are you sad that after doing all that work, that by the time it came out in America, that the Saturn was basically dead, and Sega only made a few thousand copies and that so few people were able to buy it?
>YF: Of course, back in the day I thought "If this was on PlayStation, so many more people would have been able to see this story."
>1UP: That's interesting. Do you think Saga could have actually been done on the PlayStation hardware?
>YF: I think it was impossible to bring out this kind of quality on the PlayStation. PlayStation and Saturn, the way the machines expresses color are very different. On PlayStation the colors are more bright, and on Saturn the colors are cloudier. So to express the atmosphere of Panzer, it was necessary to have the color palette of the Saturn.
Wow someone actually giving their opinion in an interview. That's shit you don't see nowadays. Got anything else? Some interesting stuff here.

This one is pretty great, I think I remember Miyamoto getting pretty honest in it.
