Rob Fulop is the co-founder of Imagic and PF Magic.
Mr. Fulop joined Jim Combs and Video Game Trader TV for our Halloween special. This is an edited transcript of the complete interview.
VGT: How did you get started in the video game industry and where has it taken you through the years.
Fulop: I was a Junior in college at the University of California, Berkley in 1979. I had gone to the Job Board and found a job doing sound effects in pinball games for a company that I had never heard about before… Atari. I got an interview and they actually hired me on the spot, which never really made any sense to me since I didn’t have any real experience. But I was very into to games and basically the video game business for the whole ride.
