    🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠 Stand, wait to be acknowledged, address all of your comments to the chair, and refer to the hosts in third person only for this proper parliamentary procedure edition of This Week in Retro.

    🛠 Check out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com/ for all your PCB needs! 🛠 Sega's mission to make its history more accessible, and give the world even more authentic Sonic cartridges, leads our coverage this week. We also look at the ultra-compact, resource-light KolibriOS (runs comfortably on a 30-year old Pentium!) and an Amiga 1200 that's been upgraded beyond belief. Plus your top picks for the best real-world locations to simulate in a game, more Commodore Callback discourse, and a very special 40th birthday! 00:00 - Show Opening 01:31 - Physical and Playable Story Link: https://www.thegamer.com/sega-producer-yosuke-okunari-all-4500-sega-games-playable/ Additional links: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sega-is-re-releasing-the-original-sonic-genesis-games-on-100-cartridges/ https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/sonic-35th 14:21 - Single Floppy Computing Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w2imHvPHBI Additional link: http://kolibrios.org Barebones Windows: http://github.com/byteospro/barebone-windows 29:06 - Housekeeping - News links found below 33:56 - Ultimate Amiga?
