Retro Asylum Podcast thread! (merged)

I like the talk on the decision of how he made the game scroll on the ST due to the hardware differences to that of an Amiga.

Yeah, me too. Nice reminder of the similarity between the ST and the CPC (and the pain coders feel!).

Also was interesting to hear Dino talk about the chip design and how easy it would have been to implement some features.

I doubt you plugged the Spectrum +2A PSU into the RGB output. The pins don't line up, you'd need a hammer to get it in.

Bryce.

[Swainy]

Hopefully not, I just know what Andy is like

In this episode, the Retro Asylum Podcast team along with a few RA forum members, find themselves at the greatest retro gaming expo ever "Revival".


The lads not only had a great time at the event, playing arcades and consoles but also managed to record a podcast at the event.


This episode is slightly different to our usual episodes as it's more of a round table discussion about the event and retro gaming. Big thanks to Chris Wilkins and the whole Revival team for putting on the best retro gaming event that we have been to so far.

Last 2 episodes have been really insightful. Anyone here thinking of auditioning?

[TFM]

Great work!

The latest episode is clocking in at nearly 2 hours and is fantastic. This is another episode that has gone into my favourites with lots of CPC talk.

[SyX]

And continuing his amazing work, they have a pair of nice short interviews in their web with Richard Aplin and Mike Lamb.
