Commodore International filed for bankruptcy 30 years ago in 1994. There is the UK petition to force games publishers to commit to ensuring that games endure after any web dependency is shut down. Would you like a reduced cost MiSTer? If the answer is yes you might be in luck.

We are sponsored by Pixel Addict magazine and the latest issue is now available from https://www.pixel.addict.media It's main feature is about classic games that used current events (at the time) as inspiration.

Joining us today is John “Chucky” Hertell. Well known in the Amiga world he’s created such wonders as the reAmiga 1200, a reverse engineered A1200 with lots of extras, likewise with the Amiga 4000 and a whole lot more besides. Check his blog out: https://wordpress.hertell.nu
