About this episode
This week’s guest is Rob Smith: the mad?scientist of the retro scene. Rob takes us on a tour of his wild inventions—from a disco?themed floppy?disk cleaning workstation that actually plays tunes, to a full?scale whack?a?mole game controlled by an Amiga via Arduino and AMOS, and his glowing levitating Boing Ball built with magnets and LEDs. He also talks about the Retro Directory, disc backup stations, and his journey from VIC 20 BASIC to making modern retro PD titles.Rob Smith's website: https://robsmithdev.co.uk/Contents:00:00 - The Week's Retro News Stories 47:48 - Dave Isherwood InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Sheffield Gaming Market: https://www.sheffieldgamingmarket.com/Bitmap Books - https://www.bitmapbooks.comTake your business to the next level today and enjoy 3 months of Shopify for £1/month: https://shopify.co.uk/retrohourWe need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you'd like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourGet your Retro Hour merchandise: https://bit.ly/33OWBKdJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/theretrohour.comTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theretrohourShow notesAtari Classics in Volkswagen Vehicles: https://tinyurl.com/wfner8j2Paprium Flash Cart Release: https://tinyurl.com/2ucerftmMetro’s Top 20 Amiga Games: https://tinyurl.com/ftz5y86hGrant Sinclair Gamercard: https://tinyurl.com/nzc9uuemAtari x Pac-Man Collection – Limited Edition 2600+: https://tinyurl.com/47ar835wAtari 50 Namco DLC: https://tinyurl.com/bd8xczzsModern SNES Handheld in Development:
