Jaz made the most of massive surge of love for the emerging console market in the late 80's and early 90's which helped make the magazines he worked on so popular. There is plenty of talk about the Commodore 64, Sega Megadrive, Super Nintendo etc.

As well as the magazines we discuss his time working in America for Virgin Interactive, Game Pro, IGN and more.
