An Interview with Luca Antignano (aka MADrigal)

[geoanas]

Don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I find it quite related to this category / timeline...



Luca Antignano (aka MADrigal) is a truly multi-skilled man, characterized by an extremely active presence and action in the international retro scene.
Being a great fan and collector myself, of the good old handheld and tabletop games, I was familiar with his quality simulators from the very early releases.
They are not lacking in the slightest to the real games on which they are based.
You can find them all, free for download, on his site: www.madrigaldesign.it/sim/
His active presence does not only stop here...
He also developed a multigame cartridge for "CreatiVision" console .....

I invite you all to enjoy our little chat / interview, we had recently on Skype !

I'd say it's in the right place, as I'm not going to move it.

Interesting stuff.  Definitely a subject for gliptitude and vectrexroli, I'm sure.

​Thanks ! but I have to put it off line to make some - last minute - corrections...I will upload it soon after the fixes ;-)

Love those handheld simulators, I have been using them for years now and I like that he is always improving those.

Cool thanks for doing the interview and publishing it geonas. Yes I have explored the tabletop games some over the years and the name Madrigal definitely rang a bell for me. I'm sure I have used his simulators in the past.

I read the interview and I am curious to learn more about the games that he actually designed for production. I did not notice that those games were identified or particularly described during the interview.

.. One of my friends is involved in what I think could accurately be described as a gigantic simulator:
