MOLYNEUX: The Nobody
Added 2025-09-12 14:50:45 +0000 UTCPart one of a reappraisal of Peter Molyneux's career - and reputation.
Originally I planned a long video on the entirety of Molyneux's career, but production realities have forced me to reassess my approach. Instead, I'm splitting the video into a series - with each part focussing on an era of Molyneux's career that helped shape his reputation.
First up is 'The Nobody', which looks at the very start of his career. A tale of perserverance, if anything, as Peter found his footing and struck gold with Populous. We end with the death of the 16-bit machines, and the precipitous leap to a new era.
Part two (released when it's done!) will focus on his work from 94-99, and his eventual departure from Bullfrog.
The graphics for this video were fun - they're linocut prints!

Thanks for another great video Ahoy. (Also interested to hear the backstory and details behind the Fable series if you do a follow up).

2025-09-13 21:59:26 +0000 UTCLove to see Ahoy back to more frequent uploads 🤩 Still remember when the channel was named XboxAhoy. Oh how time have changed. But my love for your content has remained the same for 12 years. Heres to 12 more! Back to the topic. Peter Molyneux may be a loadsome. But his efforts in Fable will always make me appreciative. But I'm blessed that I got to experience Fable fresh, without hearing of his promises.
