Collecting Expensive But Rubbish Games - This Week In Retro 107

For the first show of 2023 we are joined by a special guest, Mark Fixes Stuff. We talk about how a game engine (in this case Doom) can be used to recreate logical operations. We look at a report of the 8 most expensive video games you probably never want to play. Finally we say a goodbye to PC Mag in its printed form. 

All that plus other chat and the Community Question Of The Week.
