eXoWin9x Is Here - This Week In Retro 245
We are very pleased to be joined by eXo this week, creator of eXoDOS and more. He is here to talk about the launch of eXoWin9x which is a growing collection of Win 9x games that have been cleverly packaged to run on modern systems.
You can find out all about eXoWin9x here: https://www.retro-exo.com/
We also look back to when nobody was sure about the future of OS/2 and PowerPC. Plus are you sick and tired of racing games only featuring exotic motors? Fancy tearing around the track in your Nan's runaround? Now you can!
Pixel Addict magazine issue 31 is celebrating the Atari ST 40th anniversary with musician John Sohn. Learn about John's defining moments in the pioneering computer's story. Head over to www.addict.media
