We also take some time to discuss Mike’s current role as co-CEO of the newly reformed Argonaut Games, and their new remaster of Croc.

I hate being quoted, its almost always out of context, but this does sound like something I would say.
"We spent a year and a half looking for the source code, and luckily, we were able to find it. If we didn't have that code, I don't know how we would have been able to build the kind of a remaster that we're building."

Just started the new Mortal Kombat after not playing a MK game for years. Its fantastic, best fighting game I've ever played. I started the story mode and its so well done I'm in shock. I dont even like game stories or cinematics, and I'm watching what is essentially a 2 hour movie with gameplay.

I love how in @mylifeingaming.bsky.social's livestream with @argonautgames.bsky.social Jez San just casually admits that Argonaut had actually been designing a "CD-i 2" for Phillips, something that had literally never been known publicly before, as well as a 3D console for Apple & VR for Hasbro.
