Game Boy Pocket Creator / PlayStation & Phil Harrison / Wild 9

Tommy begins with a discussion about the PlayStation, its incredible success and the new Dual Shock controller with Sony's Phil Harrison. Next up, Vic and LucasArts's Tom Byron board an Imperial Star Destroyer to discuss Rebellion. We find out what went into the making of the PC title and who ensures the game is accurate and in tune with the movies. Kelly Benson asks, "Where is the best place to bring portable video games?" Vic goes to Nintendo to grill Mark DeLoura about the Game Boy's history and what it takes to put big adventures on a small cartridge. Vic also gets his picture taken by the new Game Boy Camera and takes home a souvenir thanks to the Game Boy Printer. We also get a sneak preview of the Game Boy Color and talk to its creator, Kenichi Sugino. Then, SegaSoft's Erik Wahlberg, has Tommy over for lunch. Tommy is in Laguna, California to talk to Dave Perry. Dave gives us the heads up on Shiny's Wild 9s (PSX) and then proceeds to get rid of Tommy for once and for all.
