In this milestone 250th episode of This Week in Retro, we celebrate that the more things change, the more they stay the same. A revival of Geoff Crammond's Stunt Car Racer is our top story. That's just the tip of the iceberg in what was a very big week for fans of his game design work. In other news the set-top boxes of the 1990s and early 2000s get another look: the lost treasures of The Sega Channel have been preserved for modern-day Mega Drive/Genesis players, and recent developments have helped WebTV users but hurt those who get their websites from the Sega Dreamcast's PlanetWeb browser. And we remember Stewart Cheifet, the long-time producer and host of The Computer Chronicles.
