This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am revisiting my fairly new Amiga 2000. I cover some history and capabilities of this fine machine, and spend some time with my Retargetable graphics Card, the Picasso II. I also spend some time with the Video Toaster 2000 as we play with a few cameras and some fun transition effects. Come join me!

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.
