Rees joins us to find out if the Last Exterminator is able to hold a candle to Duke Nukem. We are used to restoring the plastics on our retro computers but what about the metal shielding? Would you touch an iMac G3? Some people did.
All that and our Community Question Of The Week and a look at some of the other stories you posted on our Reddit page.

Rebuilding Computer Space - This Week In Retro 143

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!

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.
