You think that Doom killed the Amiga right? Maybe not. What if you could recompile any N64 game to run on any system? The Ghostbusters finally get to bust ghosts on the BBC.
All this and more in your weekly retro computing show.
We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine and the latest issue is now available from https://www.pixel.addict.media/ It's main feature is about classic games that used current events (at the time) as inspiration.
