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.
This week's show is bought to you by the letters P and A and the number 22. These stand for Pixel Addict issue 22 which is a magazine full of news and stories about our fave older computer and gaming systems. Take a look at https://www.pixel.addict.media
