Flash - Saviour Of The Internet - This Week In Retro 138

This week we are joined by Lee from More Fun Making It and his son Thomas. They are here to tell us about how you can bid for a very special ZX Spectrum and support a good cause. We also take a look at the new anniversary arcade cabinet from Atari and we ponder if Flash games are retro and take a look at an online museum for classic Flash content.

All this and your answers to the Community Question Of The Week
