Back together at last, the crew kicks off this episode with a surprisingly heated debate over what really counts as a sandwich—are crackers allowed, does it have to be square, and can you get away with a “convertible” one-slice version? From there, we catch up on life outside the mic: Wiedo finally unveils his custom-built bike and dives into the long-awaited Silksong, Andy thinks about packing in the CRT and moving on to the RetroTINK 4K, and Diego steps out of his gaming backlog long enough to play his first ever bass gig in front of an audience.

On the games front, Wiedo brings us the colorful Hungry Huey (Gameboy Color), a demo puzzle gem that mixes Bejeweled-style chaining with slime-feeding chaos, Andy straps in for the roguelike chaos of Blind Jump (Gameboy Advance), and Diego spotlights Emu’s Massive Hunt (VIC 20)—a jump-and-collect platformer that proves the little Commodore still has some life in it.

This week, Wiedo and Diego reunite after a five-week Scandinavia road trip—complete with charging stops, supermarket pit-stops, and tales of Finland’s early school starts as summer fades fast. With sore thumbs from too much messaging, Wiedo dives into control hacks (Quake jump on the mouse, keyboard over D-pads) to keep gaming pain-free.

On the games front, Wiedo brings along a free Squid Game demake on the Gameboy, while Diego spotlights Yandex comp standouts Cubix and Kubanoid for the ZX Spectrum—a clever, dice-driven, Columns-style puzzler that squeezes surprising depth out of tiny memory.

We also gush over the C64 Mini Black, packed with 25 modern homebrew hits like Sam’s Journey, before signing off with Andy still away on holiday.

In this heat-soaked pre-holiday episode, Andy and Diego swap tales of water park nostalgia, snack discoveries, and mysterious fizzy drinks before diving into two challenging retro releases. Diego revisits the Commodore 64 with Mike Mech 2 by Luca Carminati, a tightly crafted single-screen platformer where dodging aliens, flipping switches, and navigating teleporters demands both precision and patience. Andy takes on MS-DOS curios game Alien Intruder from Juan José Martínez, a rescue-and-shoot platformer where time pressure is as deadly as the enemies themselves. In the news, the duo chat about the ZX Spectrum Next’s final Kickstarter run, intriguing rumblings from a revived Commodore brand, and upcoming releases like Copper Storm for the Mega Drive, Neo Geo, and SNES. All wrapped up with community shoutouts before both hosts dash off to their summer breaks.
