Can Anything Kill Crusty The Mac? TWiR with The h0ff - This Week In Retro 156

We are joined by musician/coder H0ffman this week. He gives us his opinions on a new version of the original Doom which has had features that didn't make it to the final version that we know and love. Have you heard the tale of Crusty the Mac? This plucky guy has been through a really rough time but has managed to become a very much respected part of the Vintage Computer Festival (VCF). Finally, how about a new big box game for the Amiga? It is on its way.....

All this as well as Dave's Housekeeping, news in brief and our Community Question Of The Week.
