Aleksandar Petrovic, producer for legendary Amiga games company ClickBOOM, has published an extensive video, in which he shares his experience.
It began with a Sinclair ZX81! And from there went on to become the most daring and most respected Amiga game company ever. ClickBOOM was active on the Amiga from about 1995 to 2002. "Capital Punishment", "Myst", "Quake", "Napalm - The Crimson Crisis", "T-Zer0", "Nightlong - Union City Conspiracy" all are legendary Amiga game titles that broke new ground, each in its own right.
Aleksandar was actively, and highly intensively at times, involved in coding some of ClickBOOM's games, but had, and has, even more to say about directing the company, publishing developers' games, obtaining rights, and why things happened the way they did. Did you ever wonder how much of "Napalm 2 - Euroburn" actually exists? What happened to Bitmap Brothers' "Z" on the Amiga? And how was Jackie Chan (almost) involved with ClickBOOM?
It's a more than 2hrs long video, packed with nice anecdotes and very interesting details, and Aleksandar Petrovic's voice and talk is just very pleasant to listen to. If you're in a hurry, or looking for something in particular, an extensive video description with timestamps helps you navigate.
