Derby had the tools in the team to make platformers. I can’t remember whether it fell in around the time of Rick Dangerous – it was a case of utilising their toolset, their platform game toolset, let’s make use of it. We [used] some of the iPs to reintroduce [Monty] as something else. We came up with Impossamole which I think is a great name.
