It’s a breath of fresh air to get an in-depth look into the thought processes behind development of such a classic title.
Gary Sheinwald, the Co-CEO of Argonaut Games, expressed his excitement and positive look towards the future: “I worked closely with Jez on the design and production of Starglider, Argonaut’s first big hit back in 1986, so to take up the mantle of relaunching Argonaut Games nearly four decades later brings me full circle, and we have further exciting announcements in the pipeline in the coming months.”
