Commodore International filed for bankruptcy 30 years ago in 1994. There is the UK petition to force games publishers to commit to ensuring that games endure after any web dependency is shut down. Would you like a reduced cost MiSTer? If the answer is yes you might be in luck.

We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine and the latest issue is now available from https://www.pixel.addict.media/ It's main feature is about classic games that used current events (at the time) as inspiration. 

Joining us today is John “Chucky” Hertell. Well known in the Amiga world he’s created such wonders as the reAmiga 1200, a reverse engineered A1200 with lots of extras, likewise with the Amiga 4000 and a whole lot more besides. Check his blog out: https://wordpress.hertell.nu/

We are joined by musician/coder H0ffman this week. He gives us his opinions on a new version of the original Doom which has had features that didn't make it to the final version that we know and love. Have you heard the tale of Crusty the Mac? This plucky guy has been through a really rough time but has managed to become a very much respected part of the Vintage Computer Festival (VCF). Finally, how about a new big box game for the Amiga? It is on its way.....

All this as well as Dave's Housekeeping, news in brief and our Community Question Of The Week.

Retro Computing in 2024 is set to be great. We take a look at just a few of the projects coming this year. Did you ever wonder why X-Wing never got an Amiga Port? We now know why. And after Tetris is finally beaten we ask ourselves if we ever managed something similar. Oh and we have some sad news too. It's a bumper episode this week so grab a coffee.

All this as well as the Community Question Of The Week where we ask you a retro gaming or retro tech question.

An IT shop in Canterbury might fool you into thinking you are shopping in the 1990s. Can arcade games ported to home systems actually be better than the originals? We chat about some of our favourite retro gaming activities at this time of year.

It's This Week In Retro, your weekly round up of news for old ( and sometimes not so old ) computers, consoles and games. This week we look back at some of the stand out loading screens from the Atari ST, find out how SEGA helped NVIDIA become what it is today and wonder if a CRT running at crazy refresh rates is the best option for modern gaming.

All this and many more snippets of news in brief and your answers to our Community Question Of The Week!

Neil is off for a few weeks and we needed somebody to step up and ctrl-alt-rees put his hand into the air, bounced around with excitement and demanded we pick him, so we did. Thank you Rees for keeping Dave company this week. Please visit his website https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/

Please take a moment from your busy day to visit https://www.pixel.addict.media/ and take a look at the all new issue of Pixel Addict magazine. Do you remember before laptops were really a thing and various manufacturers tried to squeeze fully functioning computers into something that became known as a luggable computer? It doesn't matter, either way you should nab a copy and check out the lead feature. Thanks!

PSA: It has been very warm in the UK this week and my Cadbury Buttons melted when I left them in my car by mistake. Do not make this error. You get a bag of choccy soup for a while and then once it cools you have a single chunk in a shape almost too awkward to eat.....almost, I persevered.

We return after a week away with a fantastic guest in Iain Lee, he has launched his own retro podcast called Random Access Memories which he tells us all about as well give his thoughts on this week's retro computing stories.

Those stories are the unveiling of a release roadmap by Retro Games which includes the much anticipated full size version of their The A500 (dubbed the Maxi while we wait for the official name). We also find out that the Pope is backing a scheme to encourage people to get coding! Finally, there is a report which suggests that current efforts towards game preservation are failing!

All this and more including the Community Question Of The Week.

This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener! Hosted by Neil from RMC, Chris from 005 AGIMA and Dave. Edited by Duncan Styles.

The PiStorm is coming to the Atari ST, joining the Amiga with the high spec/low cost CPU accelerator. Special guest Mark Fixes Stuff joins us this week to talk about that and our other stories. They are, how did we survive before Google came along and can playing a game really cause you harm? Things get a little spooky in this (very loosely) Halloween edition of your favourite retro show. 

We also read out your answers to this week's Community Question and quickly look at a few other stories in Dave's Housekeeping.

We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine. Issue 15 is the latest available and in it you will find a history of Lemmings, an interview with Neo Byte Force (creators of Neo Geo games) and a look at the Commodore SX-64. Visit www.pixel.addict.media for more details.

We have a special guest this week as Tony from OzRetrocomp returns to chat about retro media bought about by an awesome basement video collection which has been designed to replicate video stores of the 1980/90s. We take a look at a recreation of a very old arcade game called Computer Space, a game you can play via emulation if you wish. Finally, was the original PlayStation the top of the class for playing CDs? Some claim its audio output is up there with tech costing much more.

All this and more with our Community Question Of The Week.

Retro gaming is becoming more popular on YouTube, is this just because more people use it or is there an underlying trend there? Did you know that blank cassette tapes are still being made? Do you miss what was for many of us the first portable music format we used? We were dared to watch a terrible film which uses gaming as a method of brainwashing the masses, we did this so you don't have to!

We are back to take a look at how a Sky Skipper cab, apparently the rarest of the Nintendo arcade machines, has been recreated. One of the latest space based games has a knowing nod to the grand daddy of all space games, we mean Starfield and Elite. Finally there is a great show from the 1990s called Computer Chronicles which took a look at flight sims of the era. It is up on YouTube for all to see and is well worth a watch.

Do you miss the old days when you could only watch your favourite TV shows when they were scheduled to be on? One clever fellow has recreated the TV channels of his youth using modern tech.  Peter Molyneux, developer of many a fan favourite game is back after things went a bit wrong for him.

Did you miss us? We are back with a story about finding a Discs of Tron arcade machine by the side of a road. What a find. We follow that by wondering if a new retro restoration TV show could be putting entertainment over the truth. Then finally it seems that there is a new effort to preserve games in Australia.

All this and our Community Question Of The Week plus a quick catch up with your hosts.

We are very grateful to our sponsor, Pixel Addict magazine. Head on over to https://www.pixel.addict.media/ for the full run down on the latest issue. Highlights include: a look at the Thomson T07, working out why Myst was the game of the 1990s and a look at and interview with the people who bought Zool out of retirement.
