Hi all! I had the privilege of talking with Digital Pictures co-founder Tom Zito, the man behind FMV games like Night Trap, Corpse Killer, Supreme Warrior, the Make My Video series, and more.

It was a great discussion, with Tom going through the history of the company including the early days of developing the later canceled NEMO at Hasbro - a game console that was to use VHS tapes as cartridges. He also spoke of the creation of Night Trap, and his hopes for the Night Trap ReVamped kickstarter campaign. All-in-all it's a great listen for SEGA fans who remember the many FMV games from the SEGA CD, 32X, and Saturn days.

I am going to read this and I am going to love this! But I have to go to work soon. No time!

Luckily it's audio, not a text interview, so it makes for a good listen while on a commute. Tom was very friendly and a real chill guy. Tons of info and details too! One question yielded a 30 minute history of the company.

Will listen also. Always thought games on cassette tapes (some of the earlier PCs) were interesting & have wanted to learn about the VHS console.
