  • ALAN SUGAR IN SPAAAAAAAAACE! - This Week In Retro 193
    Nov 2 2024

    The Amstrad online museum is open for business! We took a quick look and it bought back some CPC memories. The US Copyright Office has hindered game preservation but will it make much of a difference in the long run? Finally a simple Elite 2 video seems to have struck a cord with lots of gamers.

    Pixel Addict magazine sponsors this episode. Visit www.pixel.addict.media to see the latest issue which focuses on Microprose who made some of the classic sims of the 16-bit era. While there check out the special Amstrad and Atari productions.

  • Game Over Yeah! - This Week In Retro 192
    Oct 26 2024

    Dave is a little under the weather this week so Chris steps up. We look back at Sega Rally, did it change driving games 30 years ago? The C64 is getting a Street Fighter 2 conversion, its looking fast and playable but does it retain all the right components? Worms has been a hit since it first appeared and the original developer is working on an update for the Amiga! Get those sheep ready!

    Please visit Chris' channel, 005 AGIMA, for his latest videos: https://www.youtube.com/@005AGIMA/videos
