Translated:

Very good very good! It's time to travel back to 1984 and play The Adventure Game where Janet Fielding, Neil Adams and Nigel Crocket try to float an egg, find the F key, appease a sentient pot plant and avoid the amorous tongue of a salamander. Dronga, Dronga, Rangdo indeed!

We also highlight some of our favourite games we've played, and reveal the ultimate Pac-man clone!Find out more on the MSX here: https://www.msx.org/Play some games online here: https://www.file-hunter.com/MSX/Theme song by Other ChrisFollow Under Consoletation on BlueSkyFollow Under Consoletation on TwitterFollow Under Consoletation on InstagramSend your thoughts to feedback@underconsoletation.com

    It'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
