👾 Retro Gaming Weekly News #0131
This week in gaming has been mostly focused on trying to source a guitar for the PS3 for a reasonable price (and with a dongle), and still playing Marvel Snap and Rivals. I’m also playing a game called Retro Bowl on IOS which is very cool! If anyone has any good IOS games like this, please let me know in the comments.
29 featured stories this week, and I have now added Gamecube, PS1/2, Xbox and Dreamcast to the list of consoles covered. Atari announce a new console, lego Game Boy and a load more.
