Has Richard Garriott (Lord British) truly maxed out his Intelligence and Wisdom scores so that he can undo a 1992 transaction and reclaim Ultima? Can Chris tell the difference between reality and a simulation, or does it all end in air sickness? And will new code development environments for the C64 Ultimate, and for the Atari ST, Amiga, Macintosh, and other 16-bit platforms uncork a tsunami of new applications and games? All these questions answered plus first takes on the Commodore phone and other topics of retro interest as June 2026 winds to a close!
