RISC OS & The Acorn Archimedes - This Week In Retro 110

0 0 0
4th February 2023 59 min

After a recent article about RISC OS & The Acorn Archimedes we take some time to talk about what we thought of the Archimedes. Was it really in the same league as the Amiga? Arcade1up are re-releasing their Star Wars arcade cabinet. Are you tempted? Finally, we find that it is possible to run Wolfenstein on the 8088 CPU thanks to a new port that runs just fine using CGA graphics.

All this and our Community Question Of The Week.
