As noted on last week's Episode 100 show, Midlife Gamer recently got some time in with industry legend Jon Hare. A founding member and driving force behind Sensible Software the makers of Mega Lo Mania, Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder, he talks exclusively to Midlife Gamer about the company, the reasons behind the Codemasters buyout and rocks our world with new info on Mega Lo Mania. Jon also tells us more about his canned project Sex ‘n’ Drugs ‘n’ Rock ‘n’ Roll, gives us his opinion on why modern gamers are being given ‘dumbed down’ products, why firmware harms the games industry and weighs in on motion control. All this, plus lots more on this special edition of the Midlife Gamer podcast.

VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Tracking the history of an entire video game genre is quite an interesting, and undoubtedly difficult task, not least because it can be very problematic to pinpoint the exact origins of a given genre. Arguments can likely be made for a number of different games and points in time as the true birthplace of a type of video game, and that is certainly true for the real-time strategy genre. I certainly wouldn't argue against a number of different opinions people might have in regards to where and when the genre originated. This all is to say that the point I've decided to start with is not one that's universally agreed upon."
