🇬🇧: As part of the research for the Stay Forever episode on Utopia, we had a conversation with Don Daglow, who single-handedly designed and developed the game back at Intellivision. Don is a great narrator and takes us into the hallowed halls of toy manufacturer Mattel, who at the time was trying to conquer the console market with the innovative Intellivision device. The interview was conducted in English, with a summary in German at the end. Stay Forever is the leading German podcast on retro games.
