How much retro tech fits into one hectare? We try to sum up the massive Vintage Computer Festival Midwest before taking on a hot new upgrade for classic DOS computers. And if you've ever envied that extensive collection of game boxes you see every week on the show, try printing your own! GOG's just made that a lot easier. All this, plus the latest on the Neo-Geo AES+, new MiSTer cores, and more!
