I can't believe it.

Max has asked me to move in with him.

I mean, you practically live with each other already, but that's great.

Did you hear that, Joe?

Yes, thanks for letting us know.

I see you've updated your universal credit claim.

Now you're going to be living together.

Coming up on this week's show,

a Pong RPG game.

Atari opened their own casino.

And we get some amazing stories

from Synosis, Bullfrog and EA with Graham Bell.

This week's show is brought to you by Retro Gamer magazine, The Essential Guide to Classic Games.

Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast episode number 219, your weekly dose of retro gaming and technology news with me Dan Wood, me Ravi Abbott, and me Joe Fox.

Now, for the first time ever, we're not in the same room. We're recording this week's show remotely.

This does feel a little bit weird already, I've got to say it, guys.

It is strange remote Retro Hour, and you know, I've actually contracted the virus, so I can't be in the same room as you guys, but don't worry, I have recovered. Ravi's already thrashed corona. He's completed it, mate. So let's just get a little picture of where you guys are then. Joe, no, you're at your kitchen table during the show. So this is kind of normal for me because I've been working from home for the last two weeks anyway. From my kitchen table, as well as my laptop, I've got a nice expensive mic, which Dan sent to me in the post. So it's a little bit weird, but it's kind of cool at the same time. And to be fair, Joe normally does a show just in his pants anyway. Yeah, so it doesn't make a difference to me anyway. And Ravi, you're on your study at home? Yeah, I'm in my study surrounded by retro equipment. I've got a medium wave radio and a vinyl player here. We hope the show is going to go, all right. It's a little bit new for us doing it remotely, but I hope you'll excuse any differences in sound quality or anything like that. Obviously, it's only temporary until we can all get back together, which hopefully won't be too long. But look, the show's going to be just as good as always. We've got an incredible guest coming up this week. Now, on the Retrow podcast, we'd like to bring you stories of video game companies and games that we grew up playing. And I couldn't name

three bigger companies in the world of video games than Cygnosis, Bullfrog, and EA.
