Tiny 486/Pentium PC Using New Components - This Week In Retro 95

Do you fancy a 486 that (almost) fits in the palm of your hand? Do you miss LAN parties or couch gaming with your friends? Have you thought about disembodied brains that can play Pong? If any of the answers to those questions is yes or no or even if you simply like old computers/consoles/games then this is the show for you.

Stick around until the end for this week's community question of the week!

Thanks to everyone that let us know about some issues with last week's audio version of the podcast. Fingers crossed our host has sorted that issue out now.
