Summary
🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠 Stand, wait to be acknowledged, address all of your comments to the chair, and refer to the hosts in third person only for this proper parliamentary procedure edition of This Week in Retro. Original Xbox games come to Windows 11 (with major caveats)! We learn about the Bit 79: a souped-up Nintendo Famicom from Taiwan that launched an entire genre of 8-bit computers rarely discussed on English-language shows! And Chris dutifully delves into the world of pay-to-unlock content in an Artworx classic. Plus, everything old is new again as Atari once again partners with a film studio, a legendary tech columnist passes, and an infamous battery supplier reaches the end of its leaky road. 00:00 - Show Opening 03:42 - Unbox Those Old XboxStory Link: https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-brings-back-compat-to-windows-microsoft-pledges-4-games-on-pc 23:27 - Meet The Bit 79 Home Computer System!Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZH1rR7WogIBit79 emulator: https://notin.tokyo/Bit79Bit79 support materials: https://archive.org/details/bit-79-archive 35:16 - Housekeeping - News links found below 44:11 - Dial 1-800-STRIPPERSStory Link: https://www.dosgame.at/blog/wie-wir-ein-vergessenes-strip-poker-spiel-wieder-hergestellt-haben?lang=en 52:33 - Community Question of the Week 🏆Your monthly support helps us keep the retro news flowing!https://www.patreon.com/thisweekinretro 🕸 TWiR Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/ Follow your hosts!Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/davevelociraptor.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jasoncompton.bsky.social Youtube:Chris - https://www.youtube.com/@005AGIMAJason - https://www.youtube.com/@TheRetroAdventurers Audio Podcast:https://retroadventurers.podbe…
