You Wouldn’t 3D Print a Computer - This Week In Retro 164

Your weekly Retro Computing discussion show returns! Rollercoaster Tycoon is 25 years old? Are you a fan of any of the Tycoon games? We chat about those classic SIM games, take a look at how somebody went to extraordinary lengths to create a new old Mac and more old tech has been spotted in new media.
All of that plus many other topics are covered in Dave's Housekeeping and we get your answers to this week's Community Question Of The Week. 
We are sponsored this week by Pixel Addict magazine. The current issue has a guide to the CoCo computer and Tandy in general. Plus there is a celebration of the anniversary of King's Quest! Visit https://www.pixel.addict.media/ for the full run down on the latest issue.

Can Anything Kill Crusty The Mac? TWiR with The h0ff - This Week In Retro 156

We are joined by musician/coder H0ffman this week.

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.

It's a sad day at TWIR as we say a fond farewell to Chris as a regular host. He leaves us having chatted about a top 14 Amiga games list and how he was once fired from GAME, a company that has announced that it is no longer dealing in used games.
All this and other retro gaming news in brief and the Community Question Of The Week.
