You have seriously surpassed Computer Chronicles and G4TV and Knight Rider and Airwolf and MacGyver as the best thing of all time. Sliced bread wishes that it was as entertaining and cozy as Retro Recipes. Every episode brings me back to the time when the world was all chilled out and maxed and relaxing all cool, playing some b-ball outside of the school, while computers had already reached peak perfection. Nobody needs more than 64K of RAM. That's ludicrous. It was a simple time before the apocalypse. In the long long agos. Retro Recipes is like being there again. 😅 I will never give you up, let you down, run around or mayhaps even desert you, sir! If there is such a thing as having too much fun, then Retro Recipes is guilty of being awesome.
This comment is more loaded than 64K of RAM! Thank you for dialling up the praise to seriously nostalgic levels. 🧑💻 If Retro Recipes is a crime, then I’m guilty of 8-bittin’ off more than I can chew.
The showrunner for Neighbors in the '80's was the brother of the Commodore importer in Australia. Every computer featured in the show back then was a Commodore Amiga. The more you know.
"Retro Recipes is more than just a TH-cam channel; it's a time machine that transports us back to the golden age of the 1980s. From the pixelated screens to the iconic gadgets, each episode brings cherished memories back to life. Thank you for preserving and celebrating the magic of that era with such passion and authenticity. Your dedication to keeping the spirit of the 80s alive means the world to those of us who lived through it and to those discovering it for the first time. Keep up the fantastic work!"
I vividly remember about 25 years ago one of our teachers showing us that exact Dark Star video clip as an example of how to achieve great “special effects” on a budget. To this day I don’t know if he was being ironic!
Oh man! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! For featuring this! Much appreciated and Happy Halloween. Btw very cool glasses! And you can never have too much Ghostbusters in your life :) The gallery is my favorite section of the Retro Show, so cool seeing those old photos.
Thanks for the great Halloween contribution - been saving it up for this day :) I do have one question though... is there any computer type from the 80s you might want?
@@RetroRecipes There's actually 4 that I am actively looking out for. And ironically they are all British Machines!

🤣😂 so so so many dad jokes love it 🤣🤣. Great show as always and love the spooky theme had going on, i love to know what the neighbour was thinking when they seen you in the car with a frog in your mouth 🤣😂. Have a great weekend and as always you all take care and looking forward to see what you bring us next. Oh and what a movie Dark Star was 🙂
The Amiga was used in lots of TV productions, apparently it was easier to sync the video and camera than PC monitors. A1200's were used on The Krypton Factor (remember that ?)
I was thinking about all the "magic"smoke that goes around the old computers, came from their Rifa capacitors to fullfill the halloween theme inside the room.😄
I think I was probably playing bounty bob strikes back the photo of me in the Gallary..I was obsessed. I still have the original cassette I bought from menzies on old broad street london..has the price tag on it .
Dang. Too bad TV-Head man didn't bring and leave me a retro TV on my doorstep.... Also, I see that Perifractic has been working on his Dad jokes even more. :D
I seem to remember that when Kristen Schmit arrived in Neighbours (I can't remember his character's name - think it was Todd) he and another kid were always playing 'Mash the Potato' on the Amiga 500 - a made-up-for-the-show, but never seen video game. But it's legitimately a great name for a potato-based platformer of the early 90s.
@@RetroRecipes No sooner asked than done! Though it looks like Todd was using a C64 at this point - sure he had an Amiga later. But earlier in the clip, dasterdly Paul Robinson is doing business stuff on his A500. Oh - and according to Josh (Todd's mate), the object of Mash the Potato is to fight your way past the vegetables to get to the chips. Whether this is of the dipping variety is uncler. th-cam.com/video/TXGuzOonkYE/w-d-xo.html
@@RetroRecipes Oh no! Todd and Josh use their C64 to hack into the school computer sytem to change Todd's exam results! th-cam.com/video/BDQJ_r5wE8w/w-d-xo.html
I am so sad I missed getting picked for any of the Dookie tracks. (You couldn’t just buy them; it was basically a raffle for the _opportunity_ to buy them. Some tracks had more copies available, some fewer.)
14:19 Well, talk about stealthy easter eggs...there's a chrome coat hook mounted inside KITT behind your left ear...I wonder what gave you that idea...hmmm...NICE touch, Peri!
Well, another Hallow E'en show brings around another full year of my own life. This time I will be Heinz Favourites years old as I move toward an age where I'll be less concerned with Perifractic and more concerned with peristalsis. But you all will remind me how it was when I was younger and fascinated by the mysteries of life and the wonders of the microcomputer. Keep up the good work and remind me that my inner child never needs to grow up, even though the rest of me will. Note the English spelling of Hallow E'en has now fallen out of use. That Ghostbuster's contaiment unit containing Satan's Blood reminded me of John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. Where the Apple II was used to interpret cryptic messages from the past. It's odd how many Apple II's ere used in horror films of the 1980's to summon demons and raise all hell. That was until the Amiga was used in Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series to resurrect an entity in digital format. Oh and Happy Halloween to all our American Cousins. Don't let the demons infest your networks.
Ouch that Green Day diss…. I don’t think you fathom how talented they actually are. Like you, I was sorely mistaken thinking they’re not talented or known for their musicianship. I also thought it was just another punk rock band…..boy was I wrong!

I couldn’t agree more! Every episode is a retreat from today’s insanity to a time that was far more fun and simpler.
Ever since Baby Fractic was born, Peri's dad jokes have jumped up a notch
Well done guys 👏🏼
This is hands down the best entertainment tv on the entire internet! Feels like home! :)
Wow! Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 🎃

Through the whole video, I was hyperfocused on that electronic, moving, spider, on the table on the right side of the set. I couldn't look away. Haha!
Never take your eyes off it!
I remember watching Darkstar so many times as well! At the time I had mistakenly thought that Bomb 20 was voiced by William Daniels!
Lady Fractic is looking extra beautiful!
I thought PCB stood for Pie, Chips and Beans
Haven't seen anything as retro scarey as this, since the witch from granny's garden on the BBC micro! 😂 Great show, keep up the great work 😊

Apologies!
Mr TV head stopped depositing TVs on people’s doorsteps once he learned retro is now a thing. He didn’t want to be Father Christmas.
Dookie was also one of the first CDs I ever got. I already had the cassette tape though ;)
