Happy holidays! Earlier this week I was invited to join several podcasters from Everything Amigas to discuss every port of Home Alone we could come up with. I hope you like this wacky Christmas crossover show featuring Boat and Aaron from the Amigos, Aaron and The Brent from ARG Presents, Cody, Eric and Tim from Pixel Gaiden, and myself.

On this episode of Sprite Castle I take a look at the newly released THEC64 Maxi, the full-size Commodore computer from Retro Games Limited. I talk about the settings, the built-in games, and playing downloaded games. I also talk about what a pain in the butt it was to acquire one in North America, and compare it to everything from a Raspberry Pi to an FPGA-based MiST and an Ultimate 64 to help people decide if this product makes sense for them.
