Thank you Sir for another great Retro Roundup. The C= macines are getting more love this month.

I’m looking forward to the PC Engine Mini. I’ll probably get the Genesis mini as well, even though I already have just about all of those games. That llama was looking pretty chill. Pizza pop is a surprisingly expensive famicom game. I once was looking for games that reflected all the jobs I’ve had over my life, and there are a surprising lack of pizza related games. Maybe I’ll get a Repro of that one. Thanks for the pun, by the way, and another great video, Simon.

Great Video and a very nice way of keeping up to date with whats happening in the Retro World. Having a Retro Channel of my own, there are many Games coming out that I am not aware of. You have another Sub from me.

Don't forget Homebrew title The Sorrow of Ghadlan Thur, being released in physical cartridge form for the Msx2, and positive keyboard news for the ZX Spectrum Next that after final keyboard testing they will go into full production of the keyboard, hardware board, and plastic case.

Ice cold beer is a new favourite of mine, so it will be great to try that out at home

[mattmyers]

cool man! Thanks for another great video!

[VariXx]

Can't wait for the Konami collection collection. Jokes aside I'm glad they're doing these.

[mattmyers]

I meant all of that for The new August round-up, not July.
