26. Micro Live - S01E02
01:56:36||Season 2, Ep. 26It's November 1984! Thatcher! Coal Miner Strikes! Band Aid on the Horizon! And the BBC is doing a new tv show about 'computers'. They'll never catch on. Ash and Cliff settle down for the second episode of 'Micro Live', where we see the new MSX computer range, a man purchases a computer in Croydon, Lesley is obsessed with people damaging their floppies, and a con-man talks to us about American telecoms. This is actually way more entertaining than we're making it sound.There might even be some discussion of pornography.Watch the episode hereTheme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com

We dive into one of the early titles that helped define what the Sega Megadrive could do and also created a franchise it's The Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi! We dive into the making of the game, take a look at some of its design choices and cover a timeline that ends up having more in common with Back to the Future than it does the American Ninja craze of the 1980s.
