“Every aspect of this show was a good time.” <\/p>
\u201cI grew up with an Atari,\u201d Marvel<\/a> star Anthony Mackie tells RadioTimes.com<\/a> over Zoom while promoting his latest project, the video game adaptation Twisted Metal.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we would play Asteroids, we would play Centipede, we would play Galaxy. But then, when all my other friends got ColecoVision, I got a Nintendo.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I loved Donkey Kong and Mario, and Duck Hunt \u2013 those were, like, my big games. And then, because it was before the internet, the cheat codes got out for Mario, so you were able to end the game. So it was my goal every night before bed to end Mario, and then I could go to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n Mackie speaks with infectious enthusiasm about Twisted Metal, the new TV series launching today on Paramount Plus<\/a> in the UK, and he also gets candid about his journey with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And he shares his thoughts on the rise of video game adaptations.<\/p>\n Mackie admits that he isn\u2019t exactly super-skilled when it comes to controlling the car combat of Twisted Metal, the brightly-coloured and action-packed game which first launched in 1995 for the original PlayStation<\/a>. (It is still available on PS Plus if you want to give it a try on PS5 or PS4.)<\/p>\n Listen to Anthony Mackie on the One More Life podcast<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
