As regular listeners will know, our podcast usually includes a bit where we dive a little into the history of how a game came to be and who was involved with its creation. That part was missing from our recent Halloween Harry episode, and with good reason, because we got a chance to sit down with Halloween Harry creator John Passfield and hear it all from the man himself directly.

He brought his friend and long-time collaborator Pete Mullins along, who among other things helped with making the box art for Flight of the Amazon Queen, another game from the mind of John Passfield. Together they are working on a brand new Halloween Harry game that will be available in the near future.
