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.
