The year was 1990, a man risk it all to form a company that made video games. With a little bit of luck, some talented Cal Arts graduates and a sprinkle of Douglas Adams, Voldi Way created a game's studio we know and love: WayForward. Who would've thought
that it all began with a game about a mouse and a beanstalk...

This is the 102nd episode of Boyographic, the series looking to highlight the highs and lows of the Gameboy library, playing the hits and the misses so you don't have to! Thank you all for sticking with me so long and to everyone who's supported this channel. It really means a lot! Please look forward to more 'MayForward' videos throughout the month!

All footage is used in fair use to give a cultural perspective of the character and context for this game's release. All footage is owned by it's respective copyright holders, and was not created by myself. I do not own 'The Changeling', 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' or any of the interview footage contained in this video.

The few seconds of drilling were taken from 'phuncnguyen CNC's video CNC on aluminum -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txCMvRF4Bm8&t=104s
