ALAN SUGAR IN SPAAAAAAAAACE! - This Week In Retro 193
The Amstrad online museum is open for business! We took a quick look and it bought back some CPC memories. The US Copyright Office has hindered game preservation but will it make much of a difference in the long run? Finally a simple Elite 2 video seems to have struck a cord with lots of gamers.
Pixel Addict magazine sponsors this episode. Visit www.pixel.addict.media to see the latest issue which focuses on Microprose who made some of the classic sims of the 16-bit era. While there check out the special Amstrad and Atari productions.
