What Was Your First GUI? - This Week In Retro 183
Manage episode 433420545 series 2773745
Bob from RetroRGB joins us this week to talk SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis games, our memories of early GUIs and a Game Boy with a CRT screen which is still portable but VERY battery hungry. Once again Ctrl-Alt-Rees steps in to cover for Neil while he is on his break.
There are more retro computing news nuggets in Dave's Briefs and the Community Question Of The Week.
