Spoiler: LGR: So I Bought Those Weird New AliExpress Retro PCs…

An LGR review of the Book 8088 and Hand 386, newly-made retro computers on Aliexpress! No emulation here, these are DOS PCs running an 8088 and 386SX processor, using legacy chips on custom PCBs melded with open source projects, off-the-shelf components, and injection molded enclosures. They sure are neat! But lots of compromises, drawbacks, and odd design decisions.

The Story of Mastertronic and Arcadia: Masters of Budget Games | Kim Justice

Spoiler: The Story of Mastertronic and Arcadia: Masters of Budget Games | Kim Justice

Mastertronic became one of the biggest UK studios in the 1980's by releasing quality 8-bit budget titles on a large scale -- other companies hated them for it, but they all had to follow them. This video covers that success, but also their failings, including the Arcadia Select System -- an attempt to put Amiga titles on the arcade floor. Enjoy!

Love these Kim Justice videos! They are usually about UK stuff we do not know about in the US but they are super interesting, extensive and long!
