It’s by an artist called Jeremy Roberts who did say to me that it was originally for a Popeye karting game that never got finished.

Chris and Mads go Brutus baiting during a deep dive into the classic Nintendo arcade game, Popeye. They also reveal the winner of the April game club vote and are joined by a special guest to look ahead to May. http://traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/RA_Episode_201_Popeye.mp3

Yeah not the update that I was hoping for. Let’s just hope it does make the 2nd quarter.

Thankfully Mark at Mark Fixes Stuff done mine for me but he did make a video whilst doing so: https://youtu.be/98_BN5zZZqc

R-Type, Target: Renegade, Chase H.Q, Cybernoid, Manic Miner, Jet Pac, Robocop, Batman The Movie, Head Over Heels, Skool Daze, Back To Skool... There’s loads mate.

Funnily enough I contacted that guy too but he said that someone else had just beaten me to it. The one that I bought was only just down the road from me so it worked out well. And yes, you are right about Facebook market place.

Yeah I’ve always thought that it’s a nice looking machine. I’ve never owned a beeb so for £15 I thought that this would be a nice start into the Acorn stuff. I do eventually want to pick up a BBC Master but they are expensive these days.

There’s plenty of Spectrum games that are decent if that is what you mean plus there are some pretty decent looking titles in development for the Next.

Picked this Acorn Electron up today for £15 from a local Facebook sale. I need to get an RGB Scart lead and it needs a good clean.

I’ll get on that!

So Retro Asylum has reached 200 episodes! Me and the rest of the current Retro Asylum team go in search of RA hosts of the past to celebrate 200 episodes of “The UK’s No.1 Retro Gaming Podcast”. Join us in our longest ever episode, as we look back at the show and discuss how the UK retro scene has evolved since we began Retro Asylum back in 2011. http://traffic.libsyn.com/retroasylum/RA_Episode_200.mp3

Cheers mate, in reality it’s our 260th (we’ve done loads of half episodes & specials over the years) anyway I hope that you enjoy the show.
