Amiga CEO Mike Battilana is our guest this week, so we get right to the lead story: Amiga and Hyperion announced a settlement to long-standing disputes over AmigaOS. At the same time Amiga announced a licensing arrangement with Commodore. We sort through what it means and what might be coming next. In other news, there's a new rich archive of software for Atari ST users and a split-screen head-to-head innovation is coming to the original BBC Micro Elite thanks to the tireless tinkering of Mark Moxon. Plus 1970s computer music on vinyl, new chapters for Worms and Quake, and more.
