He's Back! - This Week In Retro 209

We are joined by Lee from More Fun Making It! Retro gaming and computing chat about such things as how some publishers have got things a bit wrong recently and about how Terminator 2 is getting a brand new game which looks like it is the game that should have come out back in the day.
