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?

    Lord British's Ultima Returns (In 2027?) - This Week In Retro 274

    Has Richard Garriott (Lord British) truly maxed out his Intelligence and Wisdom scores so that he can undo a 1992 transaction and reclaim Ultima? Can Chris tell the difference between reality and a simulation, or does it all end in air sickness? And will new code development environments for the C64 Ultimate, and for the Atari ST, Amiga, Macintosh, and other 16-bit platforms uncork a tsunami of new applications and games? All these questions answered plus first takes on the Commodore phone and other topics of retro interest as June 2026 winds to a close! 00:00 - Show Opening 01:50 - Britannia Is Saved?

All this, a Minty Cyberdeck, a replacement for the Atari POKEY, and more! ERRATA: Jason accidentally says "Atari 2600" at 19:22.
