On top of that, you wouldn’t have Visual Concepts/2K Sports without him either. Then, he was the guy behind the Dreamcast, which pioneered console-based online gaming with DLC years before Xbox Live. Bernie was one of the key guys behind PlayStation and responsible for bringing us Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden, Oddworld, and Crash Bandicoot among others. Stolar right here and Scott Miller of 3D Realms. J: I’m very proud to be working with and partnered with the two people who inspired me to get into the games industry. Wow, that’s incredible! So, who inspired you to get into games? I also had to establish my own reputation with “white-label” re-masters and other business dealings in games, music, and film before asking individuals like Bernie Stolar and Bernie Gilhuly to join my Firm officially. I’m proud of the fact that I have never had to work with a VC. I made sure everything was built and has continued to be built with my own funds. J: ZOOM Platform, and all my other ventures, have been entirely self-funded and self-managed. So, how did you get funding to launch ZOOM Platform? After 45 mins or so, he tapped the table and said “I’m in!” After cold-calling him to join my team as an advisor and getting a positive response, I spent all the money I had to fly up to San Francisco and meet him.

Well for starters, how did you both get your start in games? Jordan, why don’t you go first, you’re a pretty young guy, how did you meet Bernie? Jordan Freeman: Thank you, we appreciate the opportunity. Gentlemen, thank you for your time today. Adrian managed to catch them for a rather lengthy chat, so sit back and enjoy… Without Bernie Stolar there wouldn’t be half as much stuff for us retro gamers to even talk about! Needless to say we think he’s found his perfect match in Jordan Freeman and their ZOOM Platform has us smitten. These guys need no introduction but I’m going to do it anyway.
