Is Older Always Better? - This Week In Retro 191

  • Summary

  • We return to find that your PC will be able to emulate an Xbox, that a rare Microprose arcade cabinet has been restored ( and is quite excellent ) and we check out a report that asks why some games age better than others. We also have news of a special Atari focused magazine which may or may not have been officially announced when you read this...we don't know.

    If you like our podcast then it is quite likely that you will also enjoy Pixel Addict magazine. Made by and for lovers of retro computers/consoles/games/films/toys. Packed with reports, news, reviews and even tutorials you are sure to enjoy. The current issue has a HUGE section on Microprose. Visit www.pixel.addict.media/shop/
