On this episode of The Atari VCS Podcast, I begin a multi-part series titled 'Best of 'That Atari Show,' featuring Atari VCS devs, some legendary, some indie, some new, some that have been around for a few decades. Jani Penttinen (now with Utopos Games) was a guest early on in episode 35 back in March 2023. In this interview, Jani discusses his original game, "Utopos," made for the Atari ST back in 93, to today, where he has released "Guntech 2" on the VCS as well as other gems! The Covid-19 pandemic also had a huge impact upon his career. We discuss his origins, his future & more! + Fuji's back with an expanded version of his Atari VCS-drenched origin story, "The Labyrinth of Circuits!" + User Feedback & More!
