First though, let’s have a bit of background info. Where did your channel name come from anyway? Mark Kurko is a 31 old man from Castelló de la Plana (Spain) who first got interested in 3D modeling about 5 or 6 years ago, and who hopes to one day make a living from his own video game projects. When I was a teenager I was a great fan of Nirvana (I still am), and my friends started calling me Kurko (a diminutive of Kurt Cobain) as a nickname. Given that Mark is my real name and I wanted to dedicate my channel to mods, Mark Kurko Mods sounded like a very logical channel name to go with. So what got you interested in games anyway? What was your first ever game?īack in 1993 my parents bought a clone of the NES (Brigmton brand), which came with two controllers, a gun and a cartridge with 128 games. Okay, most of them were actually different versions of the same 15 or 20 games, but still, they included the likes of Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Bomberman, Tetris, Contra, Lode Runner, Tank, Arkanoid, Mappy and Wild Gunman, which along with a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 they bought late, kept me going until 1999 when I got an N64. Still, what games are you playing now? Any newer ones you believe are absolutely amazing? Seems like quite a few people got into games with those knockoff consoles, especially in Europe. Well at the moment I’m playing Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy for Switch and Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair on Steam. I 100% recommend the latter, though I was a bit disappointed when it was announced as a 2D platformer. Expected something a bit more akin to the Banjo-Kazooie formula again to be honest.Įither way, it’s an absolutely amazing game, and the fact you have to explore the world like in a 2D Zelda game is fantastic too. So if you like Donkey Kong Country, check it out. So how did you get into that franchise anyway? Yeah, kinda guessed you’d be expecting another 3D collectathon from a Yooka-Laylee sequel, given your interest in the Banjo-Kazooie series. I remember buying the N64 with the DK64 bundle, and tried Banjo-Kazooie afterwards when a friend lent it to me. From there I discovered that both games resembled each other quite a bit in terms of gameplay, and ended up preferring the smaller worlds and more exploration focused gameplay in Banjo-Kazooiie over that of DK64. Honestly, I’ve always liked exploration more than hard classic platforming, and I loved the Banjo-Kazooie series in part because of that. Exploring Gruntilda’s Lair was great due to how you’d unravel the mysteries of the game’s different worlds, and I felt it had an adventure feel similar to that of the Zelda series because of that.
