EA is one of the industry's best known developers, but one of their well known games, Zuma, was actually a near-identical copy of a much smaller developer's: Mitchell Corporation's Puzz Loop. Join me to find out exactly how this scandal unfolded!

This video was based on the brilliant book “The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers” by John Szczepaniak, which is available from Amazon via the following links:
