SEGA Takes Down Art Book? - This Week In Retro 114


Listen Later

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?
