| 0:50.1 | Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast episode number 416, your weekly dose of retro gaming and technology news with me, Dan Wood. |
| 0:58.8 | Me Ravi Abbott and me, Joe Fox. |
| 1:01.0 | And a very warm welcome to the podcast, a show that each and every Friday celebrates the world of classic video games. |

We don't care about all that stuff, though. |

| 1:54.8 | It takes a while for those shipments to get across, doesn't it? |
| 1:57.9 | I think we were waiting for it to hit America and then we saw it hit |
| 2:01.1 | New York first and started going around. Amiga Bill had one, but also, you know, Australia. So it's |
| 2:09.0 | literally on the opposite side of the world now, which is amazing to see. Yeah, I think one landed in |
| 2:14.0 | Canada this morning. We got tagged in the picture. So, yeah, I mean, for anyone |
