    Thanks for watching & thanks to RGL for donating their prototype! Methinks a charity auction later this year is in order. I will publish a full playtest as soon as the preview embargo is lifted (15:40). Links in description to preorder your A500 Mini! Oh and yes I know the gamepad is modelled after the CD32 not CDTV #SlipOfTheTongue 🤦🏻‍♂️

      You lucky git, a500 mini. Well can not complain too much, finally got my hands on a cdtv for £200 and as for wham bars they used to be massive and I loved them now they are tiny and twice the price.and it's the cd32 gamepad not the cdtv one ,😂😂😂 anyhoo good video.

      @@RetroRecipes thank you, after a house fire in 2018 that destroyed my studio and nearly my family and I along with it I haven't posted much since then. My channel when it was active would mostly post video versions of my radio comedy content. My scetches would first air on upwards of 8 Canadian campus radio stations coast to coast. I'm hoping to get back into TH-cam in some form either late this year or sometime next once my work schedule calms down. Thank you again!

    Hi guys. Another great episode. Thanks ever so much for mentioning my Steampunk Amiga build 😀. Regarding the Amiga balls that you are the first to mention🙂. I added those by a form of chemical etching. And added patina to give it that aged used look that I like to do with all of my steampunk builds. Thanks again! 😀 👾🕹️🎩

    Fantastic episode of the absolutely brilliant RetroShow! This needs to be a full on TV show as you guys are so funny together on this and I feel that more people need to see how amazing you both are. The nostalgia of seeing your ZZap64 magazine in the shelves of WH Smith was fantastic and certainly worth every penny. Ladyfractic as always fantastic along side the equally fantastic Perifractic. The part of puppyfractic staring you out at the end of the episode CJ was so funny. Keep it up guys onwards to 1 million subscribers

    I think you mean Gozer, Perry. Not Zuul. Ladyfractic looks closer to Gozer. Also with the race car set, KITT will always win, because as soon as the Delorean hits 88MPH it'll time travel.

    I pre-ordered the amiga mini. I was going to buy the full size The C64, but that was before I ended up getting a real one. I've never had an amiga before. I've never done anything amiga related not even emulators. So it will be a new experience. I also thought it was really sweet when the dogs held each other. My dogs would never do that. They get all angry if they get too close except at bed time it's ok to lay against the other one. lol

An that wham bar is pure gold and great to eat as well well if i recall they was. An yes i so so so need that steampunk Amiga in my life, as always this was a great show and roll on the next one.

    Perifractic is a generally talented fellow...except when he tries to channel Ali G. Ladyfractic has the patience of a saint :-) Fabulous caricature of you both! And fab to see "Zzap!", etc. back on shelves in Blighty. It's probably hard for modern computer kids to understand how devoted we were to that mag. I once rode my BMX over >10km of rough coastal roads in >40-degree (Celsius) heat because I'd heard there was only one copy of the "Bangkok Knights" issue left at our nearest newsagency. Got the magazine, drank a whole 1.25-litre bottle of cheap soft drink from the supermarket, then happily rode home again with "Zzap!" shoved down my T-shirt. Looking forward to the Amiga Mini, which I've ordered via Amazon Australia. Since I seem to be commenting on most bits of the episode... Fab, smooth-scrolling 3D take on "Asteroids"! Fab effort by those sisters to get their dad a Turbo Man! Fab everything! :-)

    The A500 mini looks really cool, I am looking forward to the video on that little masterpiece of nostalgic reverie. Might be a bit small for retro word-processing though. Digita Wordworth v1.1 could work on it, as could Maxiplan. Maybe a play through of The Hound of Shadow might be interesting.
    I loved the steampunk Amiga, excellent work. Sort of a cross between the Amiga Computer and Warehouse 13.
    ARRSTEROIDS which does sound a little like a colloquial term for a painful medical complaint, looked fantastic. The RR logo worked well for the ship design and it had a sort of elegance I haven't seen since Blakes 7's Liberator design.
    Great news about the magazine. Nice mech keyboard for your A1200. I believe the only Amiga which had a truly mechanical keyboard was the A3000. I believe it used Cherry switches. Not sure about the earlier big box Amigas.
    Great show again, and I look forward to the next Retro Show.

    Never had a Scalextric either, but did have a TCR (Total Control Racing I think?!) set... similar to Scalextric but better IMO as it had a switch on the controller that made your car switch lanes. Would love to see one of those in action again.

      Yes that's it. My friend who lived next door to me had one back in the 80s and I thought it was awesome being able to change lanes! I hade a Race And Chase if anyone remembers that, where the cars could perform U turns?!

      I had one of the early TCR tracks in the late 70's. I remember it came with headlights on the cars. There was always an automatic pacer car as well as the racing cars. The problem was centrifugal / centripetal force on the bends always change tracks for you.

      @@trance_trousers I had Race & Chase, the police car and Stingray(?). Great fun going over the see-saw bridge causing your opponent to have to turn around. My gran ran a pub and bought a huge 4-lane Scalextric layout 2nd hand and we had it in the attic of the pub. Old 60s cars, pits, stands, figures the lot. Amazing. Wish I had that now!

    I was hoping you would've said "fully operational" in the Emperor's voice during the mini Amiga segment
