🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠 Sega's mission to make its history more accessible, and give the world even more authentic Sonic cartridges, leads our coverage this week. We also look at the ultra-compact, resource-light KolibriOS (runs comfortably on a 30-year old Pentium!) and an Amiga 1200 that's been upgraded beyond belief. Plus your top picks for the best real-world locations to simulate in a game, more Commodore Callback discourse, and a very special 40th birthday! 00:00 - Show Opening 01:31 - Physical and Playable Story Link: https://www.thegamer.com/sega-producer-yosuke-okunari-all-4500-sega-games-playable/ Additional links: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-is-re-releasing-the-original-sonic-genesis-games-on-100-cartridges/ https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/sonic-35th 14:21 - Single Floppy Computing Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w2imHvPHBI Additional link: http://kolibrios.org Barebones Windows: http://github.com/byteospro/barebone-windows 29:06 - Housekeeping - News links found below 33:56 - Ultimate Amiga?
