The Fatman's Turn For An Interview

Following on from his interview with George Oldziey from a couple of weeks ago, Mat Tschirgi from E-Boredom has now has a chance to conduct an interview with George Sanger, AKA The Fatman, composer for the first two WC games. There is less of a focus on WC than there was with with Oldziey interview, but it's still a good read.

E-BOREDOM: How did your collaboration with David Govett work for the original Wing Commander game for the PC?

THE FAT MAN: Govett was, and even more today is, an amazing natural-born composer. He's refined his art so much over the years that it would blow anybody away. At the time that I was asked to do Wing Commander, Dave had only composed simple little boopy-beepy Nintendo tunes for me. I had no idea that he had had those two main Wing Commander tunes (the main theme and the dogfight music) in his head since high school.
