I'm so glad I was born November 28th 1980, I made it in for the last of the Gen-Z, that simple life before was fun and full of stories and adventures, it was uncharted territories for everything, we just did stuff all the time, something as simple as taking a box and drawing wheels then act like we were cops and robbers on a high speed chase but the box went no where, we had sound effects for everything, grab a flashlight and make camp in the living room and tell scary stories, mix cooking ingredients to see it would glow or turn to some toxic slime, we were just endless with everything
Fun Fact: Pac Man was originally going to be called Puck Man, but the developers realized that the combination of youths, marker pens and the words Puck Man on a cabinet, probably wouldn't end well... .. .

@@RetroRecipes At 20:15 .. Should I be worry.. or proud about not knowing the MySpace guy thingy?? 🥺 . ..

Actually, interesting fact. The game was originally called "Puck-man" in Japan, but when it came to North America, they wisely decided to change it to "Pac-man", fearing that "Puck" could far too easily be changed to a naughty word by mischievous graffiti artists at the arcades. So, really, he's "Puck-man" and that makes more sense - that he's like a hockey puck - but, yeah, they were probably wise to make sure it couldn't be changed, as you know that once one person did it, all the arcade machines would end up with that first letter changed. It would bound to have become a meme.
It’s kinda sad how excited I got when I noticed the thumbnail for a new Retro Show video. I’ve watched the episode now and it actually surpassed my super high expectations. Well done to everyone involved. 👍🏻
I enjoyed this a lot. I think the thing that got the biggest laugh from me was actually quite a simple thing - the defragged zebra. That just really chimes with my sense of humour!
Yeah....that got me too!! And back then, you could quite innocently spend £30 on special PC performance software which just defragged the drive, cleared a couple of caches and told you your PC was perfect!! And that was before the average user knew that de-fragging was built into Windows!! :-D
Pac Man actually started life as Puck Man in Japan. The pizza missing a slice inspired the shape, but when drawn it looked more like a hockey puck. When preparing the international launch they recognized that Americans would vandalize the P in Puck.
I've watched and keep on watching your videos and the one thing that always bring a smile to my face is when both of you try to correct each other on the different pronunciation of some words. :)
PacMan Cardboard Box - possible PCB reference for this video? Just a thought. (Or Pizza Cardboard Box?). I'd assume the ghosts have eaten the missing slice - although the slice is actually restored while PacMan is moving, so, perhaps not. And also to consider his eyes olives? Just a thought. LOL. (Perhaps the piece which is restored is a bit of pineapple that he is eating? LOL).
I had a Speak and Spell when I was a kid. I remember my dad saying he was going to buy me a Speak and Maths for my birthday one year, but the shop burned down and he never saw another one.

So Ladyfractic changes her hair every episode? Makes me think back to how Spitting Image portrayed Madonna, and how every time she appeared her hair color and/or style would be changed. You know, come to think of it, I've never seen Madonna and Ladyfractic in the same place at the same time. Hmmm.... Is there something you're all hiding from us? Ohhh... Everyone knows PCB stands for Puppyfractic Clobbered by Boxes. Speaking of clobbered, ouch.. I hope that poor Speak 'n Spell is okay. Another fun show. Can't wait until the next one.
Every time I go grocery shopping I look for Nostalgia Flakes and can't find them. There isn't even a spot on the shelves for them. Can't tell you how disappointed I am to just keep getting Boo Berry instead.
LoL, I love this episode of the retro show. I'm very happy to support you. I very much appreciate and enjoy your show. You're great together. So much fun to watch. Please never change 😃 I'm looking forward to part two of ladyfractic building the Lego NES and television.
My first computer was the C64 and as you are a C64 user. You must know of T2 cart, Star Paws and the Dizzy games!! I remember when games for this machine. Were only £1.99, £2.99+ when brand new. They were the days! I don't miss the 30 minutes loading screen times though.
I want to hear Lady Fractic talk more about things that bring a feeling of nostalgia to her... And to women in general. When she got into specific smells, that was very interesting, and also fired up some memories on me of different types of plastic. EDIT: Re-reading that... um... It didn't sound right. I mean plastic from toys... from when we were kids! * sweats profusely *
I love these shows. It's a good mix of everything I like about retro. Unpacking stuff, silly memes (loved the Denim joke, gonna use that at work), homebrew, good doggies and lovely hosts.
I was a child in the 80s and my best friend was a teen in the 80s and we bonded as adults over our love of 80s nostalgia. We're both women. She's not into computer stuff though.
I think some of your Gen X things were more Millennial things (Napster, MySpace), but that was still a fun segment. Also, Pick Axe Pete was originally on the Magnavox Odyssey 2/Philips Videopac.
@@xp8969 I used Napster, but then again I'm maybe more of a Xennial than a Millennial. I would have thought the Gen X source of "free" music to be copying tapes borrowed from the library or from friends. "Home taping is killing music" and all that.
Growing up, the dream was to get a Blue Peter badge... Grown up, and the new dream is to get a Blue Peri badge. 😁 Keep meaning to watch the new episodes of GameMaster. I was curious who would be the new GM. Sir Trevor was an inspired choice.
19:24 "Evil Smiley face" I'll show you evil smiley face! That's the Commodore Logo! 😂
Not only Dune was written on a retro computer. George R. R. Martin still uses Wordstar on a PC/XT to write his novels, including Game of Thrones.
Is that's the cause for him taking so long!?
The level of production is just astounding.
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️

"Pac" in Pac-man is from "Paku Paku", a japanese onomatopoeia representing the sound of chomping
I told the "Mario's overalls" joke to my brother. He chuckled and said "That was unforgivable." Perfect! 😄
I'm glad the Speak and Spell still makes the boogie boogie sound. lol That sound is so nostalgic for me.
Fun Fact: Pac Man was originally going to be called Puck Man, but the developers realized that the combination of youths, marker pens and the words Puck Man on a cabinet, probably wouldn't end well... .. .
Yup! Apparently, "pucku" is closer to the Japanese word for "eat".
Ruck Man? Yeah. That would've been awful...
Pretty sure it was called Puck Man in Japan.
Fun Fact Mr. Scott Pilgrim
@@Datan0de Eat in Japanese is Tabe / Taberu. "Pukku" (there is no c) is the gairaigo of "puck".
Sir Trevor McDonald, truly a British institution. Well loved and revered. More comments when I have watched the full video 😊.

The 45 of Pac Man Fever is from the re-recording of the album Buckner & Garcia made in 1999 when Columbia refused to release the original album on CD.
Actually, interesting fact.
The game was originally called "Puck-man" in Japan, but when it came to North America, they wisely decided to change it to "Pac-man", fearing that "Puck" could far too easily be changed to a naughty word by mischievous graffiti artists at the arcades.

The Speak and Spell sounds are PERI similar to the sounds at the beginning of Kraftwerk's "Home Computer".
I'm glad you like the new backhair style I'm rocking. Most people don't even notice
Highly entertaining as always, the show is a must see for me nowadays..

Your passion for the Commodore 64 is amazing!!! Loved the Lego Commodore 64. What a great idea!!!
Nice of ladyfratic to allow you on the channel this week 😁
Hahaha!
Good old Trevor McDonut, lots of British fans got the reference.
My sister collected all her childhood My Little Pony from the 80s and 90s
I've watched and keep on watching your videos and the one thing that always bring a smile to my face is when both of you try to correct each other on the different pronunciation of some words. :)
It’s Herbs! It’s got a bloody H in it!
There's no extra i in aluminum (unless you put it there.)
Yeah it's just cultural differences, it's just the difference between " British English" and "being wrong"
20:21 That's Tom, he was my first MySpace friend, and I miss my pet bat
Simply put: the best content on TH-cam... period.
Thank you so much. This means the world to us!
He will always be Trevor McDoughnut. I bet he loved Tiswas :)
Wow ladyfractics into cricket, I thought that would have been perifractics sport.
Mr. Retro Recipe is devastatingly handsome. Mrs. Retro Recipe is stunning. Oh yeah, and the content good too.
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
"from seven of nine to seven out of.... seven"
speech check passed
Doing so great with the speak-n-spell, you should get the fluent pet buttons for the doggos, like #bunnytalkingdog
We actually tried them and Junifractic said it's not for her. She prefers to communicate by tapping *us* on the shoulder.
Love the AWeb frame! Ah the halcyon days of the internet *sigh*
Pickaxe Pete! That was a game on the ol' Odyssey 2!
More "Lady Fractic fixed stuff"... We've not been getting our fix of the squeaky noises ;)
7:29 LadyFractic demonstrates an excellent foxy glare, LoL ... Gosh I love this channel
New arm movement for PCB Way. Let's bring in some leg movement
I love how hostile the Speak and Spell segment got towards the end.
Until today I thought Josiefractic was Ladyfractic in a wig. I should have been watching on a larger screen, apparently.
🤭
i like the priming for the AI christmas nostalgia song
I love what you done with the hair.
Me literally waking up: .....
I found a broken classic speak and spell at a thrift store for two dollars couple months back...had to get it. Fixed it. So nostalgic!
I like when Ladyfractic said Dune like a British person. Brits say Dune, Americans say Doone
0:47 She's gone form 7 of 9 to "Choose the form of the destructor!"
Proof that couples grow to look like each other.
As a Boomer I love every Saturday watching your videos! Thank you for hours of joy watching you all having fun together.

Great show. Its what I look forward to Saturdays for. Your show is amazing, much like PCBway!
You rock!
Thanks for the mention for writing Pickaxe Pete!! Very exciting.
Great work!
"it's a computer company... it's a game... they make games"
That's prime evidence that Josifractic knows Atari
14:30 This is so great feeling to see English-speaking people braking their tongues trying to pronounce Slavic names :D
She's gone from 7 of 9 to gozer the gozarian...... "Are you a god?...."
Damn "Tom" I thought that was Facebook.
19:11 hah Bulgarian IZOT (ИЗОТ) fdd :) old times ...
0:17 about time she knocked some cents into him lol
After watching Ghostbusters Afterlife, I keep seeing Ladyfractic whenever Gozer was on screen.
Us too!

I am Gen Z and love introducing friends to 80s and 90s games when theyre only aware of 2010s games
What did they say? IAM a little younger than Z but the 8bit era is on the edge for me. Did grew up with dogs games and a 16bit console.
lmao throwing the speak and spell was great
28:06 I thought for one moment Ladyfractic was going to do a Samantha Stephens nose twitch spell
Later comment 2 - part of the PacMan outer box looks like part of the 'Chicken Lips' Commodore logo, if you think about it, just saying!
Welp, now I'm always going to see the evil smiley-face turned sideways when I see the Commodore logo. Thanks, Josiefractic. (And great show, guys!)
Haha I’ve started seeing it too now. I just added a sideways logo to my studio. See if you can spot it in the latest Patreon lens.
As a Swede.. I would say that Mr Fractic is closest to the pronunciation of Nokia.
As a Finn, I would agree.
Games Master was back allready short at OSG😁 BTW never heard about it before😅
HEY WHAT VERSION OF PAPERBOY IS THAT?!?!! 😆💛👍 thanks for the share sir, dog lady and all them in the scene
Nokia are from Nokia Finland obviously,near Tampere. Tampere has a Moomin museum
Awww loved the Moomins
I have the exact same type of shirt that Lady Fractic is wearing. I love me some Bill Nye! :)

I agree with some of Perifractic's pronunciations and some of Ladyfractic's. Maybe that shows how Australia is influenced by both the UK and the US.
