Description
BAFTA thinks Lara Croft is just about as iconic as a game character can get, do you agree. We might soon see retro gaming on Apple's iOS but what exactly do their new rules mean? We don't have a clue but we'll talk about it anyway. 3M used to be big in the world of the Floppy Disk but they jumped ship early....why was that? All this and a load of other news that has been submitted by YOU on our Reddit page. Thanks for doing that by the way, you're all ace. Our sponsor, PIXEL ADDICT magazine, would like you to know that they now have the ability to offer rolling subscriptions. No longer will you have to remember to renew every 6 or 12 months.  It is just as well as each six weeks the mag is packed with news, reviews, previews and plenty of shared memories. Please take a look at www.pixel.addict.media and tell them we sent you for no reason other to remind them that we exist. 00:00 - Show Opening 05:48 - Games With CharacterStory Link: https://www.bafta.org/media-centre/press-releases/bafta-most-iconic-character-poll-results 17:56 - Apples To OrangesStory Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/comments/1bwuci2/apple_to_finally_allow_retro_emulators_in_the_app/ 33:02 - Dave's Housekeeping The400 Mini CX Stick Fix Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OoeCWnRcLE&t=1s Desk That Runs Doom: https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/rescued-retro-desk-pc-becomes-the-latest-device-to-run-doom-amd-duron-based-system-unsurprisingly-lets-you-shotgun-blast-imps-without-major-issues Youngsters Like Retro Too!: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/apr/02/why-are-younger-generations-embracing-the-retro-game-revival Legal Action To Protect Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w70Xc9CStoE New Tune from H0ffman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ucA_WXSUw&t=1s UK Collector Frazer Rhodes Making A Museum: https://www.timeextension.com/features/interview-meet-the-uk-collector-creating-his-own-retro-game-museum Retro Could Save The Gaming Industry: https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/07/retro-gaming-can-saviour-whole-video-games-industry-readers-feature-20599998/ 45:40 - We’re All FloppyStory Link: https://spectrum.ieee.org/3m-floppy 58:54 - 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 Youtube:https://youtube.com/rmcretro Twitch:https://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!
