This Week in Retro

On this episode of This Week In Retro we look at another new soundcard  for old PCs, this one is for those on a budget. We talk about some of  the negativity that has been directed at the creators of Return to  Monkey Island. Can you believe that the Atari brand is now 50 years  old......50! Finally, have you ever felt like you wanted to run Windows  95 on your Sega Genesis/Megadrive? You can and it's fun!!  All this and we check out your answers to our community question of the  week!

For the first time ever we have 4 presenters! A guest from The Retro  Hour pops in for a chat this week. Join us for about an hour of chat  about old computers.  The MSX is back for a 3rd round! Classic hardware returns but it's not  another Mini it's a full blown system. Can't wait! We talk about gaming  accessibility as 8BitDo show off their controller for gamers with  limited mobility (we salute you 8BitDo).  Finally, would you switch to a  modern recreation of your old hardware in order to preserve it?    

A small favour, if you enjoy this show please like and share it on Twitter, Facebook etc. Shout about it in your local computer club if you could. Thanks!

Another great week for Retro Computing fans. Fancy recreating the unique  sounds of the Gravis Ultrasound audio card without having to locate one  of the old cards on eBay? No problem, Ian Scott has created the PiGUS  which is exactly what you are probably thinking it is.  Forget Nemesis  from Resident Evil, the real terror that stalks you is Rex from 3D  Monster Maze VR! Finally, are you a tech hoarder or a collector? Is  there a fine line between and where do you draw it?  All that and what might have been our most popular Community Question Of  The Week!

We talk about some of our favourite game tunes this week after hearing a  fantastic version of the Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 theme by  BanjoGuyOllie. We take a look at the Evercade EXP, the limited edition  handheld games machine. Finally, can the Cobra Kai team make a good Duke  Nukem movie?  All this and our Community Question Of The Week.

It's a sad day when a respected member of the retro gaming community  scams fellow members for big cash, yet that is what has happened. We  take a look at the Ultimate scam. In happier news SEGA has announced  their new mini console and Stranger Things gets a lot of things right  about 1980s computers. All this and our community question of the week.

Did you know about the different versions of the  follow up to Marble Madness? Finally, Jet Set Willy is returning to his  very dangerous mansion and he has had a few upgrades.  All that and the Community Question of the week where we ask you for  your thoughts.

Hurrah! Dave is back, and this time as a regular presenter. Yes, we are  now a trio. This week we chat about Sega looking at its back catalogue  of games for its future releases. The creator of Wabbit on the Atari  2600 has been found. Doom sells for silly money (or does it) and we  wonder if there is any game out there that is worth big bucks.   All this and our community question of the week and a wonderful bit of  news from Neil.

Retro computing and gaming chat looking at how the prototype for PONG  sold for quite a pretty penny. We also mark the sad passing of the  inventory of the GIF, Stephen Wilhite. We wonder if controllers covered  in fur need much upkeep and take a look at the unreleased Commodore 64  Games Machine. All of this and our community question of the week.
