Something completely different today and one I was trying to keep a secret until the time was right, but I've been interviewed by the excellent RGDS Podcast about Indie Retro News!

Matt Chat interviews Volker Wertich, Father of The Settlers

When I was a teen one game I remember so fondly was the early 90's game ' The Settlers ' on the Amiga. It had oodles of charm and character and became one of my most addictive game series ever released on both the Amiga and then later the PC. You could build your very own little village, from woodcutters to farms and bakeries while watching your little people go about their daily chores with birds chirping in the background. It was just a shame that Ubisoft decided to wreck the later games and become a shadow of its former self. Thankfully Matt Chat was on hand this month to help relive those glorious days as he has interviewed ' Volker Wertich ' about the Commodore VIC-20 and C-64, the Amiga, Emerald Mine, and yes, The Settlers.

The Story of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in Pixels - Retro gaming at it's finest [Book Review]

Strange as it may seem, but I've always been mainly an Amstrad retro gamer. My first computer being an Amstrad CPC 464 purchased for my birthday by my mum way back when I was 7 years old. But yet there was another computer that really pulled me in as I used to play it at my friends house on many occasions, the ZX Spectrum. There was something the ZX Spectrum had over me that the Amstrad didn't, maybe it was the fact that I always wanted to play River Raid or hearing the many bleeps and blops coming from the little machine. Yet here we are, many many years ahead and I was to get a very special book in the post, a book from Chris Wilkins titled 'The Story of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in pixels'.
