<div> <p>Inside Psygnosis: WipEout, PlayStation and the Rave Generation - The Retro Hour EP531</p><p>This week we’re joined by former Psygnosis PR manager Glen O’Connell for a brilliant journey through one of the most exciting eras in British gaming. Glen shares stories from Liverpool’s arcade and computer shop scene, his move from rave music promotion into games, and his time at Psygnosis during the huge shift from Amiga and Atari ST to CD-ROM, Saturn and PlayStation. We hear how WipEout fused club culture, cutting-edge design and licensed music to help define the PlayStation generation, plus memories of Destruction Derby, G-Police, Formula One, Rage, EA, Burnout, Need for Speed and plenty more.</p><p>Stuart's current project: <a href="https://www.wireadmin.com">https://www.wireadmin.com</a></p><p>Contents:</p><p>00:00 – The Week’s Retro News Stories<br>43:38 – Glen O'Connell Interview</p><p>Please visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:</p><p>Bitmap Books – <a href="https://www.bitmapbooks.com">https://www.bitmapbooks.com</a></p><p>Check out PCBWay at <a href="https://pcbway.com">https://pcbway.com</a> for all your PCB needs</p><p>PlayEXPO Blackpool tickets: <a href="https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/">https://www.playexpoblackpool.com/</a></p><p>We need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you’d like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:</p><p><a href="https://theretrohour.com/support/">https://theretrohour.com/support/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/retrohour">https://www.patreon.com/retrohour</a></p><p>Join our Discord channel: <a href="https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8">https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8</a></p><p>Website: <a href="http://theretrohour.com">http://theretrohour.com</a><br>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/">https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/</a><br>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/retrohouruk">https://twitter.com/retrohouruk</a><br>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/">https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/</a><br>Bluesky: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com">https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.com</a><br>Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour">https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohour</a></p><p>Show notes</p><p>Neo Geo Crossplay Revival: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/33xx8nah">https://tinyurl.com/33xx8nah</a><br>Bomberman Online Returns: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/mwk7xepp">https://tinyurl.com/mwk7xepp</a><br>Bloodstone For ZX Spectrum: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/zn677unx">https://tinyurl.com/zn677unx</a><br>BioCreeps For NES: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ytd9zuaw">https://tinyurl.com/ytd9zuaw</a><br>Switch As Wii U GamePad: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4c58vbcb">https://tinyurl.com/4c58vbcb</a><br>Star Fox 64 Remake: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/ePZeyh5q9R8">https://www.youtube.com/live/ePZeyh5q9R8</a></p></div>
