Our most popular guest returns as  @ReesRambles  joins us to discuss the latest news surrounding the Myrient mega-archive, the legacy of operating system pioneer Digital Research, and some long-overdue game ports including one from the Sinclair QL of all things. Is reviving Cinemaware titles the retro equivalent of jury duty? Are there enough good Atari Jaguar games to count on two hands? Find out as we bid Chris a temporary farewell in episode 260 of This Week in Retro!
