    Epic Adventures In 64K - This Week in Retro 258

    All the fun you can squeeze into 64k or less as we look at the international sensation that was Jet Set Willy and the explosion of open-world adventure gaming in 1984. There's even a fully-realised Quake-style FPS available for modern PCs that fits into just 64 kilobytes, or you can code up your own retro memory-resident marvels with the aid of the new Kwyll system or dozens of other open-source development environments.  Visit https://www.addict.media/ for your copy of Pixel Addict magazine. 00:00 - Show Opening 01:59 - Let’s Compare Our (Jet Set) Willys Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idDsa-fTNPU 19:22 - Retro Coding Roundup Story Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9hpGu1fKHM Additional links: https://indigobeetle.itch.io/santas-lost-and-found Tprrt's Blog: https://tprrt.tupi.fr/retro-console-game-engines.html 36:06 - Housekeeping - News links found below 42:00 - QUOD Damage!
