Lets talk about MSX baby, let's talk about Z80, let's talk about all the good ports and the bad ports that may be, let's talk about MSX as Cliff and Ash look at the Japanese standard that almost could, and sometimes did, but then didn't, and still even now, 40 years later will not die. We also highlight some of our favourite games we've played, and reveal the ultimate Pac-man clone!Find out more on the MSX here: https://www.msx.org/Play some games online here: https://www.file-hunter.com/MSX/Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on BlueSkyFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com Hosted on Acast.

It's November 1984! Thatcher! Coal Miner Strikes! Band Aid on the Horizon! And the BBC is doing a new tv show about 'computers'. They'll never catch on. Ash and Cliff settle down for the second episode of 'Micro Live', where we see the new MSX computer range, a man purchases a computer in Croydon, Lesley is obsessed with people damaging their floppies, and a con-man talks to us about American telecoms. This is actually way more entertaining than we're making it sound.There might even be some discussion of pornography.Watch the episode hereTheme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com Hosted on Acast.

Hello Joe! We dive into one of the early titles that helped define what the Sega Megadrive could do and also created a franchise it's The Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi! We dive into the making of the game, take a look at some of its design choices and cover a timeline that ends up having more in common with Back to the Future than it does the American Ninja craze of the 1980s.

Five week month bonus episode! It's time to look at the official prequel to Street Fighter IV, which doesn't contain much in the way of streets, fighting, or indeed any useful correlation to the plot. Ken is a Salaryman, Ryu is the bestest boy, and Seth is taking time off from Emmerdale. Cliff watched the English dub, Ash watched the Japanese sub, and it didn't make a bit of difference to their experience. Judge for yourself and listen to their suffering.Watch the English dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AOr5RkAVFAWatch the original sub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jlIfFyshZYJoin the conversation on Discord!Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com Hosted on Acast.

Ash has lured Luke back to the the main timeline with the promise of 90s nostalgia, wrestling and white guy rapping!
