In this episode I talk about a fellow retro nerd on The Great British Bake Off, a whole host of new Sonic ports for the Amiga, SNES and Atari STe, an operating system that turns the Atari Jaguar into Atari’s cancelled “Painter” computer, a vibe-coded Knuckles’ Chaotix recompilation that hasn’t exactly impressed fans, a secret hidden on the Xevious 3D/G+ disc uncovered by our very own mnemo, DOOM on Picotron, Cyriak tinkering with Doom Builder, DOOM drawn by a pen plotter, the untimely passing of Project Gotham Racing developer David “Bone” Gill & more!
