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

0:09.9

Did you hear that, Joe?

Yes, thanks for letting us know.

0:35.8

retro our annual Christmas Super Quiz.

0:38.8

I'm Dan Wood and today we're going to be testing our panel of retro gaming experts

0:43.4

on all things related to the golden age of video games and computers.

0:48.3

To find out who is going to be crowned the Super Quiz winner of 2020.

0:53.3

And hopefully we're not all too quizzed out after the Zoom

0:56.4

quizzes throughout the summer in 2020. But let's welcome our guest this week. First of all,

1:01.0

I was going to say the returning champ, but actually, I think past winner would be more

1:05.4

appropriate because you actually hosted the quiz last year. Paul Drury from Retro Gamer Magazine.

1:10.2

Hello, Paul. Hello. Thank you very much for having me, although I am missing my normal quiz partner, Olly, and I have a horrible feeling at the end of this show, you're going to realize that he was the brains behind this operation. Well, we had to test it out to see who was really the small one, I think. So, yeah, we'll find out. Well, Paul, it's always nice to have you back. And next, we've got Neil from RMC. Now, I know RMC has changed its meaning recently. I've got a feeling now it means retro master of computers. Is that right, Neil? Oh, I very much doubt it. I very much doubt it indeed. Help. Why am I here?

1:50.0

But it is amazing to have you on. I mean, obviously your channel people, I'm sure, all watch you on YouTube. I mean, you're a bit more, would you say a bit more computer-orientated than consoles?

1:54.6

Yeah, I'm more about the micros. I spend an awful lot of time fixing them up and a very

1:58.9

little amount of time actually playing games on them. So a few technical questions, please. There are plenty of computer questions you'll be pleased to know. Excellent. And let's welcome on. I never thought I'd say this. Last year's champion, Mr Joe Foxx. Hello, Joe. Hello. I don't think it's going to be a repeat performance. Like, honestly, I'm so nervous that I'm going to come last. Like, I literally know nothing about computers. I've got no rabbi. I've got no Dan. I'm here alone. Oh, dear. You feel like you're a little roaming boat in the middle of a lake that's coming farther and further from the shore? 100%. 100 million percent. That's how I feel at the moment. Well, let's welcome on Ravi Abbott as well, who I believe has lost four years on the bounce. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to try and maintain my record. I'm sitting here with hazelnuts and wafers. Oh, God, he's got someone on his team. Who's Hazel?

2:51.6

Keith.

Hazel nuts, we all know her.
