Video Game Newsroom Time Machine

Starting out as a signals decoder for the air force, through to working for Nolan Bushnell's Chuck E. Cheese Pizza Time Theatre on its ill-fated Kadabrascope animation initiative, Autodesk, VRML and so many others, Owen Rowley is a man of a thousand lives in tech.

Heck, he may have even helped invent the mousepad.

Listen to some amazing stories, from the dawn of the computer age through to the rough and tumble world of the dot com bubble.
