Ultimate Arena, The

A few years ago, I watched an incredible documentary about Mortal Kombat. It took me right back to the days of playing The Ultimate Arena on my STe, and it got me thinking—was this Atari game really made with live actors? No, that couldn't be… or could it? So, I began searching for the elusive creator of the game, known only by the initials T.R. Buz. After three years of searching, I finally found the man himself. I had a boatload of questions. This interview may seem a bit chaotic, as the exchanges between Théo and me spanned several weeks, but I didn’t want any details to be lost to time. So, I’ve shared everything. Read on for the full story behind the making of the only Mortal Kombat clone on the Atari in this extensive interview!
