We talk about how video game history can be different depending upon which angle you look at it. Then finally it's all about the CRT TV and would you want a monster of a set in your home?All this and more retro tech news in Dave's Briefs and we set a new Community Question Of The Week.This week we are sponsored by Sega Mania magazine.
