Welcome Andrew Borman, Director of Digital Preservation at The Strong @MuseumofPlay for an in-depth look at the future of the iconic Neo-Geo game console, with brand-new hardware just around the corner. If Metal Slug and Super Baseball aren't your thing, we also cover Channel 9 Australia's endorsement of retro gaming, the revival of a 50-year old electromechanical arcade machine from Nintendo, The Krypton Factor, and a potential block on alternative cores for the Commodore 64 Ultimate. If you think that's a CRT on the horizon it might just be a discarded kitchen appliance, but don't let that stop you from enjoying This Week in Retro episode 265!
