This Week in Retro | Pac-Man Gets Blocked - This Week In Retro 128 @ThisWeekinRetro | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Once again two hobbies collide in the form of the Lego Arcade Pac-Man set. Who better to chat about it than Lego Grand Master Owen from Australian Lego Masters 2023. This week we also take a look at a very shiny TRS80 that turns out to be something special and there is a new joystick Kickstarter on the horizon.
