A Retro Christmas - This Week In Retro 151

An IT shop in Canterbury might fool you into thinking you are shopping in the 1990s. Can arcade games ported to home systems actually be better than the originals? We chat about some of our favourite retro gaming activities at this time of year. We are once again joined by Aaron from Amigos Retro Gaming. See all their retro gaming goodies at https://www.youtube.com/@UCtsK4QYe2tRdIxoZxwkX3Ww  We also have the Community Question Of The Week and a look in brief at some other stories. We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine. The Christmas issue is out now and it contains a look at the season offerings our beloved computers and consoles had for us.
