In episode 64 we continue last weeks look at prices for magazines and games in Australia. Help Principle Skinner cook up some Steamed Hams in a Simpsons inspired point and click game. Get to grips with an early release of an AGA remake of Rick Dangerous on the Amiga. Sorry but yet another new retro joystick has been found. Ever wanted a 486 that looks like a Mac? All this and there is a show and tell on the Battlestation 2, a 2 player joystick that was built to last! Thanks to Shane from PAUG for the loan of that.
