## Resource

🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠 The legacy of Lucasfilm Games looms large this week. We take on the controversial conclusions surrounding the global "Adventure Game Aptitude Test," which challenged gamers to complete the classic Maniac Mansion in four hours with no context, no documentation, and no hints. In other news we look at the improved access to Lucasarts classics thanks to a DREAMM emulator upgrade, and live vicariously through an outrageous hack to the infamous Sinclair C5. Plus your top picks in tiny software and an all-new Community Question of the Week. 00:00 - Show Opening 02:00 - You’re Not A FailureStory Link: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/adventure/the-worlds-first-standardized-gaming-test-will-see-if-you-can-beat-an-80s-adventure-game-without-a-walkthrough-and-itll-even-monitor-you-over-a-webcam-to-make-sure-you-dont-cheat/ Additional links: https://www.polygon.com/agat-adventure-aptitude-test-pc-adventure-maniac-mansion-guide/https://theagat.co/https://www.twitch.tv/new2dinosourxl/video/2710199492 18:03 - Dreaming Of A Galaxy Far Far AwayStory Link: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/03/lucasarts-emulator-dreamm-adds-support-for-a-bunch-of-old-star-wars-in-major-update 26:18 - Housekeeping - News links found below 34:14 - Sinclair C6… SpeedStory Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQsPRrgfnPs 44:19 - 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/@jpcompton Audi…
