A very POHS (Producer's HOliday Saturday) morning to you, TWiRlerverse! No episode today, we'll be back to normal service next week. The hosts used the off-week to dig through some childhood photos while working on a Q&A video... (Here's a hint: neither of them has hair anymore)

The hosts used Producer's Holiday time to record answers to TWiRler questions. Very serious matters were settled... and then there was this. patreon.com/thisweekinretro for more.

...so, what shall we talk about this week? Some of the hosts dealt really well with the lead story. Others have 30 years of baggage. This Week in Retro, returning to normal service with Episode 225 this Saturday!

Thanks to Neil and Dan at The Cave for getting me a This Week in Retro mug. I am thoroughly enjoying it and I don't even like Tea! Word is that there might be some of the classic design mugs for visitors of the Cave shop and new look ones are now available at caveshop.co.uk

Today is the 40th birthday of the Commodore Amiga! This landmark system evolved pixel graphics a quantum leap overnight. These four pics are my most enduring memories of this remarkable 16-bit computer. Do you have any favorite games or memories about this amazing machine?
