Giant Bombcast 949: Mustard Hut

Did y'all know that Apple still makes computers? That's great because you can listen to our podcast on them where we get into Jan's hands on impressions of Beast of Reincarnation, Dan and Mikey's quick time with Orbitals, kicking it old school with some RetroAchievements, and some other older titles! We also dip into the news, your emails, and SuperChats!

Our community is the best as user techsev made an FMV Space Ace game from Dan's Blight!

Editor's note: Shawn here, adding to the emulation discussion: You can absolutely emulate console games on Mac! I've always heard good things about OpenEmu as an easy all-in-one solution. And for setting things up, we all love Russ's guides on Retro Game Corps!
He has one for cheap Android TV boxes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihGr_rzpS0o
