We are very pleased to be joined by eXo this week, creator of eXoDOS and more. He is here to talk about the launch of eXoWin9x which is a growing collection of Win 9x games that have been cleverly packaged to run on modern systems.
You can find out all about eXoWin9x here: https://www.retro-exo.com
We also look back to when nobody was sure about the future of OS/2 and PowerPC. Plus are you sick and tired of racing games only featuring exotic motors? Fancy tearing around the track in your Nan's runaround? Now you can!
