Episode 50 - 2019 Amiga Hardware Year in Review
This week I am covering new hardware that has come out in 2019 for our Amigas. We have had quite a few new and really great hardware products this year. If I missed any, please let me know in the comments. The new year also is bringing in a new 10MARC logo and startup video created by the incredibly talented Kevin Saunders, and new audio intro by the incredible Mike Richmond.

Episode 49 - The RetroTink 2X Upscaler Review
This week I am reviewing the really clever RetroTink 2X Upscaler. This device is intended for use with consoles that output 240P and upscale and filter it to 480P, so I thought it would work well on my RGB to Component converter I reviewed in Episode 48. And I was right! It works like a champ to allow display on almost any HDMI TV, and also works so well with my Commodore 8 bit computers.

Episode 48 - Amiga Component Video Adapter
This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the brand new 23 Pin RGB to Component adapter usable on any Amiga. This adapter will let you hook up to many LCD Televisions that support 240P displays and give you some of the nicest colors I have seen on an Amiga outside a 1084 monitor - and that says a lot!

This week on Chickenhead Chronicles I am interview Ayd Instone, Physics instructor at the Fyling Hall School in England who also hosts a VIC-20 club for the kids every week. He introduces them to BASIC programming and recreates what it was like using computers back in the eighties.
Join me as we tour Ayd's classroom and he and I discuss the VIC-20, Childrens learning and many other great topics.

10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast Episode 47 - Amiga Black Dawn Review
This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the brand new Black Dawn Rebirth game for our Amiga computers. You just need any Amiga with 1 MB of CHIP RAM to play this, or emulation. Join me as I take a look at gameplay and cover the pros and cons of this new game. There seems to be a buzz noise during my voiceover - That does not come from the game but seems to be coming from my AD516 audio card in my Amiga. I am trying my new Mixer, and I think the Gain may be a bit high. Order it from : www.doublesidedgames.com It was made by: Code & Game Design Shaun Watters Game Graphics & Box Cover Ten Shu Sound & Music Mike Richmond Introduction & Installer Code Colin Vella Testers Olivier Cappelaere Douglas Compton Nicolas Robillard Publisher Jérémie Marsin
