This week in retro we discuss the return of a console we thought was dead an buried, the Intellivision. With two arcade focussed stories we feel old as Space Harrier turns 40 and we remember the fantastic ways that the arcade would try to immerse us in a gaming experience, all thanks to a fantastic video about the Sega R360.
Pixel Addict magazine is getting ready to launch it's latest issue, with a focus on the Prince Of Persia. Leap on over to https://www.addict.media to set up a subscription and to check out the special celebration of Amiga Format in the latest issue of Amiga Addict.
