Mean Machine Dean joins us this week to check out (and be bamboozled by) how colour graphics are achievable on the Vectrex. We also find out why the team at the National Video Game Museum were locked out and there is a long discussion about piracy on the Amiga/ST as a Dominik Diamond documentary surfaces.
All this along with Chris's Alfa update and the Community Question Of The Week.
