    Strange show title this week but please stick with it! Neil is back full time! And who is this joining him and Dave? It's Chris! This week they look at Jaguar emulation on the iPhone, a list of 10 greatest gaming innovations ( and come up some more ) and ponder what will happen now that WinAmp's source code was posted to GitHub.

    All this and the usual quick fire retro gaming news and the Community Question Of The Week.

  • Return Of The Cartridge Game - This Week In Retro 188
    Sep 21 2024

    🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠

    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.
