Flight Sims ARE Cool - This Week In Retro 140

🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠
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.
All this and our Community Question Of The Week!

Over Promise, Under Deliver - This Week In Retro 139

Looks like Microsoft is saying goodbye to WordPad, the often overlooked little brother of Word. 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.
All this and our Community Question Of the Week.
