Faking Retro TV? - This Week In Retro 133
Listen now
Description
Did you miss us? We are back with a story about finding a Discs of Tron arcade machine by the side of a road. What a find. We follow that by wondering if a new retro restoration TV show could be putting entertainment over the truth. Then finally it seems that there is a new effort to preserve games in Australia. All this and our Community Question Of The Week plus a quick catch up with your hosts. We are very grateful to our sponsor, Pixel Addict magazine. Head on over to https://www.pixel.addict.media/ for the full run down on the latest issue. Highlights include: a look at the Thomson T07, working out why Myst was the game of the 1990s and a look at and interview with the people who bought Zool out of retirement.  00:00 - Show Opening 9:47 - Throwing out DiscsStory Link: https://arcadeblogger.com/2023/07/22/environmental-discs-of-tron-roadside-pickup/ 24:10 - Retro Fake TV?Story Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/comments/14yt3pb/retro_repairs_reach_tv_channel/Mend It Mark Link: https://www.youtube.com/@MendItMark 48:15 - Australia wakes upStory Link: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-23/nfsa-vintage-video-games-dusted-off-and-digitised-in-canberra/102635288Additional Links:https://www.nfsa.gov.au/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmageddon_TDR_2000  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus_Games   1:03:35 - Community Question of the Week 🏆Your monthly support helps us keep the retro news flowing!https://www.patreon.com/thisweekinretro ☕Or just buy us a coffee!https://ko-fi.com/thisweekinretro 🕸 TWiR Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/ Follow your hosts!Twitter:https://twitter.com/rmcretro Youtubehttps://youtube.com/rmcretrohttps://www.youtube.com/005agima Twitchhttps://www.twitch.tv/rmcretro Subscribe to the audio version of the show!📻 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-retro/id1526487568?uo=4📻 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2OPQ3cADaB92E9SpRdTe5y📻 Deezer: www.deezer.com📻 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yZjQ5ODlmOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw📻 RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2f4989f8/podcast/rss📻 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFMx-JitepTttWc-ABHhu8A/📻 All other services: https://anchor.fm/thisweekinretro This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener!
