“As far as the skateboarding, believe it or not, there was a company-wide policy that banned skateboarding, because for me, my livelihood depended on my arm, so they wanted to make sure they kept me from doing anything risky that could involve falling and damaging my hand — but it was for the safety of the programmers’ hands, too. And everybody else at the company, well, if one person suffered, we all had to suffer.”

Takahashi Meijin, telling 1UP’s Ray Barnholt one of the ways in which he was unable to emulate his Adventure Island namesake.

The interview, a year after the last Meijin/Barnholt summit, is full of great info, like the price of Meijin’s mid-’80s fame, and his favorite Hudson games.
