In retro news this week the legendary 3DFX Voodoo GPU has been reverse engineered by Anthony and we can finally see how the unreleased Voodoo 5 6000 performs. Is VR for you? How about 8bit VR? If modern VR motion sickness doesn't get you then strap in because 8bit VR is going to test you to the limit. A rare Sega R360 arcade has been found rotting in a field in Ireland, will it get an arcade restoration? Is it an RMC Trash to Treasure candidate? And finally we discuss SD Card solutions for the MSX computer as well as our retro community question of the week.
