This Week in Retro

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. We are sponsored (incredibly) by Pixel Addict magazine. The 6 weekly digital culture magazine which covers all sorts of retro computing topics as well new stuff for those retro machines. Please visit them at https://www.pixel.addict.media/ where you can subscribe, buy 1 off issues in print or PDF form. You can also find each issue at WHSmith newsagents in the UK ( if you aren't in the UK then ask your newsagents if they can get it for you ). Chris has a standing order and he is is Australia, which is a long way away! 00:00 - Show Opening 07:38 - Encyclopaedic Knowledge Story Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/comments/11yq896/march_22_1993_microsoft_begins_shipping_its/ Additional Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp6yo9CNG3Q 24:53 - A Lifetime Of Giblets Story Link: https://www.vg247.com/john-romero-recieves-lifetime-achievement-award 39:13 - Paint Your Python Story Link: https://github.com/mriale/PyDPainter 52:45 - Community Question of the Week 🏆Your monthly support helps us keep the retro news flowing! https://www.patreon.com/thisweekinretro ☕Or just buy us a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/thisweekinretro 🕸 TWiR Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/ Follow your hosts!

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! All this and our Community Question Of The Week. We are kindly sponsored by Pixel Addict, the six weekly digital culture magazine.

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? Pixel Addict kindly sponsors our show.

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? All this and our Community Question Of The Week.

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. All of that and our Community Question Of The Week.

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?

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?

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.

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.
