Faking Retro TV? - This Week In Retro 133

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.

What Is Retro? (baby don’t hurt me) - This Week In Retro 132

Would you like to stay at an 80s style inspired B&B complete with working arcade full of games to play.....I think most would! Did you know the Atari ST really was amazing as part of MIDI network? A new video shows just how good it was/is. Finally, a simple question sparked a discussion about Halo. Is it retro yet?
All this and your answers to the Community Question Of The Week.
Don't forget that we are taking a two week break for various reasons but we will be back with more retro chat to brighten your Saturday mornings. See you soon.
The new issue of Pixel Addict is just about to hit the shops (might take a few weeks to get to Australia, sorry Chris) but you can order your copy direct from https://www.pixel.addict.media/ where you can also set up a subscription. Relive those days where you used to sit by the front door waiting for the next issue of Amstrad Action, Zzap or Amiga Format to be delivered.

A Truck Sized Printer Or An Egg Sized Dave? - This Week In Retro 130

The merging of two technologies can sometimes create something wonderful, in this case it is dot matrix printer the size of a pickup truck, that you can drive and print messages as you go. Could this be the future of road signage? What is the first easter egg in a game that you remember finding? Can you use an Apple II to control a V8? You can if the V8 is made of Lego. 
All this plus the usual nonsense and the Community Question Of The Week.

Windows 7 Runs Out Of Steam - This Week In Retro 129

We are very happy to be joined by Amiga Bill this week as we discuss the end of Steam for Windows 7, the lost art of home made game maps and remembering that before Duke Nukem discovered a 3rd dimension he was  running around in 2D platforming adventures. 
Do you remember Flashback? Would you say it is a similar game to Dragon's Lair? Dave does but what about the other hosts? Amiga Bill walks us through his modified Amiga A1200.
All this and your answers to our Community Question Of The Week.
We are sponsored by Pixel Addict, a magazine about all things pixel based with a generous amount of retro computers, games, toys and movie coverage too.
