Just how do you keep track of all the new SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis games? Join us as we take a look at a website that aims to do just that. We are joined by Allan aka Happy Coding ZX who tells us all about Midnight Brew Games and the special ZX Spectrum game compilation. We also check out an article on Ireland's retro scene and there is an interesting documentary about game musician Chris Huelsbeck. All this and more retro computing info along with your answers to the Community Question Of The Week.
