Peter Molyneux Expresses "Regret" For Hyping His Games, But Feels He Was Just Doing His Job

"When I used to go back after interviews, a lot of the team members would say, well, Peter, we didn't know that we're gonna have this feature in the game until they read it in the press," he admits.
"It was atrocious, and I have an enormous amount of regret for it. I feel remorse for what I did. But, you know, I think one of the jobs back then was to show the world how amazing [the game] was. The design process was making these games which never existed before; back in the nineties and 2000s, we were creating genres almost every year – and when you created something, it was an act of true invention, and it's easy to get yourself lost in the passion."
Molyneux also admits that his overexcitable pitches did have sinister repercussions. "I have had death threats," he explains. No matter what your opinion is of the 22cans boss, sending him a threat against his life should hopefully feel a little extreme to any right-minded person.
Elsewhere in the interview – which is well worth a listen – Molyneux reveals that he and his team have just begun work on a new project, but we won't be hearing anything about it for some time. It seems like Molyneux really ...

How Peter Molyneux Hooked Japan With Populous

Molyneux was asked if he would be willing to fly out to Japan to on a promotional junket to support the launch. "It was astounding," he recalls today. "Me and Les Edgar – who was my business partner at Bullfrog – spent the whole of the flight just drinking pretty much everything that we could and eating everything we could, so I felt violently ill when I got off the flight; a combination of jetlag, multiple hangovers and an enormous amount of food. This was a 12-hour flight, and it was the first time I’d ever travelled in anything other than economy."
If the pair thought they'd have time to unwind the moment they touched down in Japan, they were sorely mistaken. While the Super Famicom version was set to launch alongside the new console, Populous was by no means an unknown quantity in Japan; the home computer edition had already made waves with a gaming public which had also eagerly lapped up the likes of SimCity and was keen to meet the western genius behind the next big world-building strategy import.
The airport was packed with crowds and TV cameras; they were being treated like rock stars. "I think this was the first time I ever signed an autograph," says Molyneux. "It was an insane time. Then they dropped us off at the hotel, and said, ...

Who Created The Arcade Classic Frogger?
Spoiler: It wasn't Akira Hashimoto!

If you happen to look up the history of Frogger online, there's a fairly high chance that you'll encounter several articles and videos claiming that the classic game is actually based on a true story. This story typically involves a Konami employee named Akira Hashimoto coming up with the idea after stopping his car at a traffic light one day and seeing a frog struggling to cross a busy road.
This has been reported in the past by places like Mental Itch and The Gamer, and on YouTube channels like PatmanQC. But, when we asked Inoue about this, he claimed that he didn't know anyone by that name. Instead, he tells us that Frogger is actually the work of Takahide Harima and potentially two other programmers inside Konami.
Harima is a figure who barely has a footprint online, with one of the only references to him being a GDRI listing (taken from the Canadian Copyrights database), which implied that he might be the same person as Toshio Arima (another programmer who was at Konami during this period). As Inoue clarified to us back in 2022, however, they are actually two separate people, ...
