For the first episode of 2025 we take a look at some of the BBC's Tomorrows World predictions from 30 years ago. What did they get right and wrong. We talk about how video game history can be different depending upon which angle you look at it. Then finally it's all about the CRT TV and would you want a monster of a set in your home?
All this and more retro tech news in Dave's Briefs and we set a new Community Question Of The Week.

Dave is a little under the weather this week so Chris steps up. We look back at Sega Rally, did it change driving games 30 years ago? The C64 is getting a Street Fighter 2 conversion, its looking fast and playable but does it retain all the right components? Worms has been a hit since it first appeared and the original developer is working on an update for the Amiga! Get those sheep ready!

We are joined by Ben from Plaion, the people who bought you the Atari 2600+ and the forthcoming 7800+. We talk about cartridge gaming, get some info on the new Atari consoles and wonder what could be next from Atari. Do you worry about being fooled by fake cartridge games on sale in stores which may not know how to spot a fake? The BBC looked into it. Finally, are hard drives really as unreliable as reported? Maybe not.
All this and more retro gaming/computing news in Dave's Briefs and the Community Question Of The Week.

Bob from RetroRGB joins us this week to talk SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis games, our memories of early GUIs and a Game Boy with a CRT screen which is still portable but VERY battery hungry. Once again Ctrl-Alt-Rees steps in to cover for Neil while he is on his break.
There are more retro computing news nuggets in Dave's Briefs and the Community Question Of The Week.

It's This Week In Retro, your weekly round up of news for old ( and sometimes not so old ) computers, consoles and games. This week we look back at some of the stand out loading screens from the Atari ST, find out how SEGA helped NVIDIA become what it is today and wonder if a CRT running at crazy refresh rates is the best option for modern gaming.
All this and many more snippets of news in brief and your answers to our Community Question Of The Week!
Neil is off for a few weeks and we needed somebody to step up and ctrl-alt-rees put his hand into the air, bounced around with excitement and demanded we pick him, so we did. Thank you Rees for keeping Dave company this week. Please visit his website https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/
Please take a moment from your busy day to visit https://www.pixel.addict.media/ and take a look at the all new issue of Pixel Addict magazine. Do you remember before laptops were really a thing and various manufacturers tried to squeeze fully functioning computers into something that became known as a luggable computer? It doesn't matter, either way you should nab a copy and check out the lead feature. Thanks!

We are joined by musician/coder H0ffman this week. He gives us his opinions on a new version of the original Doom which has had features that didn't make it to the final version that we know and love. Have you heard the tale of Crusty the Mac? 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.

Retro Computing in 2024 is set to be great. We take a look at just a few of the projects coming this year. Did you ever wonder why X-Wing never got an Amiga Port? We now know why.

We return after a week away with a fantastic guest in Iain Lee, he has launched his own retro podcast called Random Access Memories which he tells us all about as well give his thoughts on this week's retro computing stories.
Those stories are the unveiling of a release roadmap by Retro Games which includes the much anticipated full size version of their The A500 (dubbed the Maxi while we wait for the official name). We also find out that the Pope is backing a scheme to encourage people to get coding! Finally, there is a report which suggests that current efforts towards game preservation are failing!
All this and more including the Community Question Of The Week.

The PiStorm is coming to the Atari ST, joining the Amiga with the high spec/low cost CPU accelerator. Special guest Mark Fixes Stuff joins us this week to talk about that and our other stories. They are, how did we survive before Google came along and can playing a game really cause you harm? Things get a little spooky in this (very loosely) Halloween edition of your favourite retro show.
We also read out your answers to this week's Community Question and quickly look at a few other stories in Dave's Housekeeping.
We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine. Issue 15 is the latest available and in it you will find a history of Lemmings, an interview with Neo Byte Force (creators of Neo Geo games) and a look at the Commodore SX-64. Visit www.pixel.addict.media for more details.

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 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.

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.

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.

Would you like to stay at an 80s stil 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.

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.

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 joined by Rees from ctrl-alt-rees this week to chat about some of the stories that you have suggested for us on our Reddit page. The WinXP activation process can now be completed without the need to go online thanks to a new process. A shop that shut its doors for 30 odd years reopens with all its old tech stock intact an up for sale. Mc Donald's customers in China have been able to buy a Mc Nugget that can run Tetris.

Jason from Mr Lurch's Things joins us once again for this longer than usual chat about retro gaming, old tech and more. Microprose has reacquired the Falcon series of flight sims. Classic game Mercenary has been given a modern makeover which doesn't spoil its wireframe looks. Finally, we think back to those tabletop games as found in the Argos catalogue of old. Could LCD gaming hope to come close arcade classics?
All this and our Community Question Of the Week.
Please visit https://mrlurch.com/ to see everything Jason has to entertain you.

How do you recreate images made on such an early build of an art package that there was no save function? The answer is found within one of the stories we cover This Week In Retro! We also have a couple of cool tech builds to look at. One allows a Pi to simulate an ISA card and the other is a tiny 486DX machine with genuine retro parts and neat 3D printed mini tower case, and we do mean mini!
All this and the Community Question Of The Week.

Talking retro computers and more this week we are joined by Gareth from Pixel Addict magazine (he assures us he isn't here to oversee the sponsorship slot). We'll be taking a look at an Atari 800XL recreation, talking about how your mind was an essential part of the gaming experience and wondering what Atari are going to do with the very many old games they bought the rights to.
All of that and the Community Question of the Week.
Please check out Pixel Addict magazine at www.pixel.addict.media for the full run down on the latest issue. Gareth and the team have been hard at work putting together another great collection of articles to keep you up to date and entertained.

This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener! Hosted by Neil from RMC, Chris from 005 AGIMA and Dave. Edited by Duncan Styles.
We are joined by Amstrad streamer Xyphoe (Al) this week to talk about the mobile/cell phone hitting 50 years old, to ponder if the PS3 really is retro and to remember our old navigation buddy Autoroute.
All this and more plus the Community Question Of The Week!
Thank you to our poor sponsor Pixel Addict. We apologise for the ongoing shambles that is your sponsorship slot. Actually, we did a pretty good job this week. Please take a look at https://www.pixel.addict.media/ where you will be greeted by the front cover of the current issue. If you haven't already bought a copy you can do so online or head to WHSmith in the UK. If you are overseas you can still buy online or ask your local newsagent to do the right thing and get you a copy each month....sorry, every 6 weeks.

The Internet Archive is being sued, is it really the end of Moore's Law and the brand new ZX Spectrum which recreates the entire box fresh experience.
All this and our community question of the week, will your answer be read out?

This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener! Hosted by Neil from RMC, Chris from 005 AGIMA and Dave. Edited by Duncan Styles.
No Dave this week, if you find him wandering please point him in the direction of home. This means that it is down to Neil and Chris to muse this week's topics. Microsoft's Encarta is having a big birthday, what are your memories of the multimedia encyclopedia? John Romero receives a lifetime achievement award, which is nice. Do you miss Deluxe Paint? It was THE go to art package for many people including those making games on multiple platforms. How would you like something that is very familiar but runs using Python? It is called PyDPainter.
All of this and our usual attempt at a sponsorship slot and the all important Community Question Of The Week where you get to have your say.

The gang is all back this week to chat about if selling old tech to fund new tech is a good idea. They also check out a modded version of the original Elite which removes the flicker seen in some versions. Finally, have you heard of the Chinese 8-bit computer called the SB2000? If you stay tuned you will have!

Mean Machine Dean joins us this week to check out (and be bamboozled by) how colour graphics are achievable on the Vectrex. We also find out why the team at the National Video Game Museum were locked out and there is a long discussion about piracy on the Amiga/ST as a Dominik Diamond documentary surfaces.

Joined by special guest The Brent from ARG Presents we talk about the potential negative side of nostalgia from retro collection. We check out a blending of two classic Star Trek games, can you take a 1978 text adventure and give it the user interface of a game from the 90s? Yeah, turns out you can. Finally, it seems that SEGA has issued a cease and desist against the publishers of a Megadrive/Genesis based art book.
All this and our Question Of The Week. Which machine won out, Atari ST or the Amiga?

Brace yourselves for the revival of that old school argument. Which is better, the Amiga or the Atari ST? Please don't throw your half eaten sandwiches or peanut our tie knots so we can't undo them. We are simply looking at a proposed book which has a crowd funder running. In safer territory we also look at the awesome and unofficial sequel titled Golden Axe Returns! Have you even stumbled across your old game disks or hardware in a shop? Something you sold or gave away years ago? Chances are slim, but what if there was some organisation out there that was looking to reunite people with their old stuff?

We have another guest this week, Clint from LGR. He joins us to talk about how a specific version of Doom has been tweaked to provide a multi screen experience (you will need 4 PCs though!). We check out the Windows 95/98 emulator called PCem which should allow modern machines to accurately emulate old hardware, great for old school gaming. The Orpheus 2 soundcard has now gone on sale and we look at what it is capable of.

After a recent article about RISC OS & The Acorn Archimedes we take some time to talk about what we thought of the Archimedes. Was it really in the same league as the Amiga? Arcade1up are re-releasing their Star Wars arcade cabinet. Are you tempted? Finally, we find that it is possible to run Wolfenstein on the 8088 CPU thanks to a new port that runs just fine using CGA graphics.
All this and our Community Question Of The Week.

This is your weekly Retro Computing round-up and this week we look at the three new consoles from Atari, might they tempt you to dip into their back catalogue of games? How do you find a retro destination in your area? There is now a website which will show you what is where: retro shops, museums, clubs and even podcast and magazines. We also look at the big box release of Return To Monkey Island. Are we going to buy it? Is it good value? Does the box look awesome?
All this as well as the usual catch up and the Community Question Of The Week.

We look at a report of the 8 most expensive video games you probably never want to play. Finally we say a goodbye to PC Mag in its printed form.

This week we discuss Dave Haynie's article where he talks about what could have been the next gen Amiga before Commodore folded. We also have two computer case swap stories. Can you put a PC into an Amiga A500 stil case and how pretty can a BBC computer in a PC tower case be? Turns out the answers are yes and very.
We are joined by Alex from Arcade Archive who talks about setting up his new retro arcade which is open to the public.

Hope you are sitting comfortably as its a longer than usual episode this week. We were joined by Jason from Mr Lurch's Things on the team this week and had a good old chat. There is a wonderful story of an Amiga user who died far too young and after recovering some of his Deluxe Paint art he now has an exhibit dedicated to him at the Derby Computer Museum. We talk about the different stages of collecting, are you the type who must buy everything or have you moved on to only wanting what you need? Finally we look at the stunning version of Eye Of The Beholder for the C64 & C128.

It happened! Neil is over the moon. MicroProse has announced a number of new B17 Flying Fortress games. Have you ever wanted to use two C64 computers as an accordion? Of course you have, who hasn't? It has finally been made real....and its fantastic! Finally, did you think the Outrun car was a real model from Ferrari? Turns out it is isn't but it is, too much to explain here so watch Chris in his element as he talks us through it.
We have a special guest this week, Ross (AKA Ross Of The Robots). Follow him on on Twitter at TheXboxVision

Violet Berlin tweeted to remind us that Bad Influence (the CITV show) is now 30 years old. We think back to some the tech/computer/console/gaming shows of the time and wonder what similar shows the rest of the world had. Have you seen the 'Quake' engine that has been created for the Sinclair Spectrum? Even at 3.5Mhz it is very impressive. We take a look and Chris made some footage of it running at 3.5Mhz and at 7Mhz. Finally, a new computer museum is opening in Leigh (UK), in an old mill of all places. ctrl-alt-rees has been to take a look. Will Neil have any advice for them?

Another great week for Retro Computing fans. Fancy recreating the unique sounds of the Gravis Ultrasound audio card without having to locate one of the old cards on eBay?

All that and the Community Question of the week where we ask you for your thoughts.

The creator of Wabbit on the Atari 2600 has been found. Doom sells for silly money (or does it) and we wonder if there is any game out there that is worth big bucks.
