In this week’s podcast, we’re having a look at the new Raspberry Pi 500+, the all-in-one desktop computer that suits retro computing fans perfectly.
Along with the latest retro gaming news, there’s also a look ahead to the PLAY Expo Blackpool 2025 event — which I’m really looking forward to!
- Raspberry Pi 500+ can be your ultimate retro computer
- Bubble Bobble C64 Remastered
- 80s style platformer Bomcat out now
- New classics join GOG Preservation Program
- Vectrex Mini Kickstarter details (2025) [UPDATED]
- PLAY Expo Blackpool preview
Plus, a look at How the Raspberry Pi changed retro gaming. I’ve had a Raspberry Pi since the first Model B was released, and immediately saw the possibilities for running retro games on the computer. I really believe the affordable mini computer unleashed retro gaming for many, whether using the Pi, or one of the many single-board computers it inspired.
Whichever way you look at it, the Raspberry Pi has played a massive part in the rise of retro gaming.
