Must Watch! Return to Monkey Island & More on The Retro Reboot Show October 3rd 2022 Ep. 03

This episode of the Retro Reboot Show is absolutely busting at the seems! What an absolute banger of a show there is so much goodness you do not want to miss it, including the following news:* I asked you all "What the coolest little retro machine you ever had/have" was, and I got lots of great responses, * A new book has been released called "Shareware Heroes", I'll talk about that.* Deep Dives are now available for BBC micro games including Elite (source code inc)* I was curiously scrolling through Instagram and saw Dave Just Dave show off a thing called a "Turboswitch". I want to know more about this thing, it's a very curious retro device!* Origins stories on The Intel 4004 Microprocessor* I have a link to pretty much every DOS game ever made for you. It comes with a crazy awesome menu system which has the meta information for every game and will download the games on demand so you don't have to download every game upfront.In "Retro Reboots":* The biggest news is that Return to Monkey island is finally out!* The game Ashes 2063 is out (using doom 2 modded engine) * Two Guys from Andromeda finally released their new Space Quest game called Space Venture * I'm also talking about a new Applesoft BASIC Editor and the Merlin Assembler written in WebAssembly* I cover a modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces. Now cross-platform and with Unicode support.* Amiga branded USB keyboard Kickstarter looks like they might be shipping* A new Desktop widgets thingy for Apple 2Here are the links from the show:Shareware Heroes by Richard Moss https://tantobieinternettattler.blogspot.com/2022/09/shareware-heroes-by-richard-moss-book.html https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shareware-Heroes-Renegades-Redefined-Internet/dp/1800181744 Deep Dives on BBC games including Elite (source code inc) https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/deep-dives-on-1980s-game-code-elite-revs-aviator/2831 Random share from retrobattlestations: Libretto 50CT https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/wxhhpw/look_how_cute_this_little_laptop_is_toshiba/ turboswitch, anyone?
