So I came across a Facebook group made up of former Color Dreams and Wisdom Tree staff members and I got in touch with Dan Burke who worked on a number of games for the company, and later as a character artist for 7 Studios on the Sopranos PS2 game. In this video we discuss about his time with Dan Lawton and his posse, how they flaunted Nintendo's strict licensing policy, his later career, a bit about motorcycles and a few other things like the games industry in general.
