Runtime: 59 Minutes
We look back at 2004's Fable and talk about the career of its hype man, Peter Molyneux. We'll discuss Molyneux's early career, both in video game development and elsewhere. Our history lesson looks at the founding of Bullfrog Productions up until Molyneux leaves to found Lionhead Studios. Afterwards, we look at the development diary of Fable to compare it to the finished product. Finally, we talk about Fable and Molyneux's legacy as they stand today. Join us for an overhyped trip down Memory Card Lane.
