Videogames based on TV shows don’t have a great track record, especially when the original property is a gameshow. When we put this to Scallywag Arcade’s Niall Taylor, currently responsible for making a videogame based on a TV gameshow, we’re surprised at how quickly he agrees. “Oh, a hundred per cent. I mean, just licensed videogames [as a whole], there are some fantastic ones now, but if you enter that realm, there’s generally a bias against you right from the start.”
With though, Taylor and team have the benefit of “unlimited access to the behind-the-scenes of the show”. They’ve visited on filminga game designer.”
