Talking retro computers and more this week we are joined by Gareth from Pixel Addict magazine (he assures us he isn't here to oversee the sponsorship slot).  We'll be taking a look at an Atari 800XL recreation, talking about how your mind was an essential part of the gaming experience and wondering what Atari are going to do with the very many old games they bought the rights to.


All of that and the Community Question of the Week.


Please check out Pixel Addict magazine at www.pixel.addict.media for the full run down on the latest issue. Gareth and the team have been hard at work putting together another great collection of articles to keep you up to date and entertained.
