Oh hey...Me & my replica Bayern Munich shirt finally made it into a recipode! I kinda thought it didn't make the cut.

[@RetroRecipes]

Haha yep quite a backlog of great submissions here! Thanks again ⚽️

[@KennethSorling]

I lost it when LadyFractic started channeling Steve Martin in The Jerk at the Lego store. So funny!

[@ashtonsretrocomputerroom]

I’m honoured to have one of my TikToks shown on Retro Recipes!! Much love! ❤️💾🕹👾 Thank you both, for all of your hard work and dedication to the community!

[@RetroRecipes]

It was very cool 🤠

[@Bassotronics]

0:49 I want that updated version of PaperBoy! 👍🏻😃👍🏻

[@RetroJack]

The Fractics: "That colour looks great on you." "Pink really suits you, Sir." Me, shirtless: 😮

[@irkedoff]

Always love the content and of course the dogs❣💜💜💜

[@sideburn]

The first release of photoshop was Mac only. You needed a pretty good setup though. At minimum, a Macintosh II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, SE, or SE/30; Hard disk; 2 megabytes RAM; Apple system software 6.0.2 or later. Windows didn’t come for a couple years later. I was a regular beta tester for several of the early releases in the early 90’s and did some programming work on some plugins and even worked with John knoll several times on some custom plugin code.

[@azop]

This show is perfect for lazy Sunday mornings. Thank you!

[@RetroRecipes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@NoshAbroad]

I'm so glad the box with all the omiyage arrived safely! The fans and towels were from something I backed on KS last year. I recall you mentioning you wanted to visit Japan but the pandemic stopped you guys. Japan can be incredibly hot in the summer and it's not uncommon to see people walking around with umbrellas, fans and towels to deal with the heat and sweat. I think you will be impressed with the PC Engine when you put it into the perspective the game console was released in 1987 against the Famicom (NES.) Also, both the Apple Park campus and the original campus at 1 infinite loop have a store each with their own unique shirts and other merch.

[@RetroRecipes]

We loved it all. The shirts are now hanging up for future recipodes! 👍🕹️

[@AnOfficialAndrewFloyd]

Oh mee yah geh - souvenirs

[@wizdude]

Yes please Lady Fractic. Retro switch game please! ❤️

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Did you spot Gandalf at 4:50 shopping for Lego😆.

[@oldhedders]

I did enjoy the reference to "The Jerk".

[@RetroRecipes]

Great movie!

[@TheSkyNinja]

@@RetroRecipes Funny enough since Ladyfractic did that a few episodes back... I find myself doing this almost everyday.... and I laugh at myself constantly.... (as does the flight crew.... some of which give the classic "deer in the headlights" look... thus having to show the youtube clips both of the movie and from the Episode that she first did that... hysterical...

[@sideburn]

Not an ordinary thermos will do. Why isn’t one of your dogs named sh!thead!?

[@SLMK-rk7ht]

Everytime I watch your videos I feel this cozy vibe, thank you

[@RetroRecipes]

Same vibe we get reading comments like yours? 😊

[@martinrowe2812]

We need more of the BBC Micro

[@thecodeprofessor]

I must say, your lighting and production quality is outstanding. I had to pause the video to admire the detail in both the foreground and background. The visual quality of your work has always been high, but frankly, the Commodore has some catching up to do.

[@NoshAbroad]

The audio has come a long way over the last 2 years. especially for the unboxing and livestreams. Garage type spaces are really unforgiving for acoustics, especially when you want to keep the mic out of sight. I recall the video when they installed the new lighting.

[@gazorbo.]

Wake up early'ish for a Saturday morning, cup of tea in hand go onto KZbin and see what it will recommend to me ... 29 minutes and 37 seconds with a big smile on my face.

[@andydurbin8309]

A really good show, I always enjoy your videos. I had to laugh watching puppyfractic follow your hand and finger around. I look forward to seeing more of Ladyfractic plays. And more of your recipes.

[@RetroRecipes]

Cheers! She’s a unique doggo!

[@gerald8573]

So fun! Love you all!

[@deadscenerecords]

Love the episode and the two of you!

[@RetroRecipes]

Aww shucks! 🙏

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Ooh, nice music reference by Ladyfractic to the Neverending Story song. The main orchestral theme (playing as Atreyu rides through the fields) still gives me goosebumps…

[@scottminutolo894]

Love the T-Shirts!

[@TheVampireKit]

27:00 We are further in the future from the first release of the Commodore 64 than the first release of the C-64 was from D-Day.

[@repairupdaterepeat5815]

5:00 life goals, buying yourself Lego, from the Lego store while quoting Steve Martin in one of his finest roles. 'and my dog......ok I don't need my dog . '

[@awilliams1701]

Wow I don't remember any C64 commercials, but the ones you've shown are amazing. No wonder why they were so popular.

[@rikprince8414]

Very nice!! It's been a week of Mondays over here. This cheered us up considerably. :)

[@RetroRecipes]

So glad to hear that it helped 👍🕹️

[@lyledal]

"Anyway, before that gets stuck in your head..." Too late!😆

i went in my local Lego store (Manchester) on Tuesday, bought one set but couldve bought soooooo much more. 'i need this' was all i said in there too.

Yet another amazing retro show. Love watching you all and your content is getting better every time in fact I have PCBwaaaayyyyyy stuck in my head every time. Keep up the great work perifractic ladyfractic and of course puppyfractic too. Can’t wait for your music collaboration CJ.

I'm from 1969 as well, and I'd love to get some late-sixties-style rock'n'roll back on the charts in opposition to that utter garbage we're treated with today.

[@awilliams1701]

WII predates the X360 camera. Technically though the NES powerglove was the first (even if it sucked). So either way it was nintendo.

[@eskey691]

Hey whats this magic it's on youtube early 😁. As for Ladyfractic doing live stream well thats a no brainer if you ask me YES, and man the price of lego not like the good old days haha. The acorn archimedes was so cool back in the day and everyday a lunch time in school i would always get to play Virus on it and was amazed at how it looked. An yes that commodore advert is stuck in my head thanks 😂. Great show as always guys looking forward to the next one, so until then take care ☺. Oh and still love puppyfractic and her whistle and puppfractic the 2nds face when that pop happend bless.

[@danyoutube7491]

I loved that advert, so 80s. I never saw it back then, being British, but the energy and style of it is so familiar.

[@hammer86_]

7:35 Never felt so guilty laughing in all my life 🤣 Please tell me you added that sound effect.

[@RetroRecipes]

I added that sound effect 😀

[@plinker439]

[@joerhorton]

Paul McCartney watched this and has now said that bloke born in 1969 was the reason the Beatles broke up!

[@TimmyJoe633]

I had a gameboy camera, picture was terrible, but seemed brilliant at the time just being able to take instant pictures and print them out, in an era when you had to develop photos. I definitely share Leofractics, retro time line, Acorn was a big part of school life growing up in the uk, my micro and Archimedes really take me back.

[@danyoutube7491]

I remember in the last year (or two?) of Junior school we got an Acorn, it was an impressive step up from the beloved BBCs that we had enjoyed up until then.

[@CrisBlyth]

fun episode guys !!

[@RetroRecipes]

Cheers matey. Even better because you starred in it!

[@cpace123]

Hi. I new that NAG was a name for a horse. I am from the USA, but have not heard that term for a long time. So I think it used to be used more. However to be fair. I did also live overseas for 8 years as a kid and picked up some old english words as well as slight accent as a kid. The accent is gone, bu perhaps that is why the word NAG was familiar to me. As always, as an 70-80's kid I really enjoy the show.

[@thievingjoker]

The word nag meaning horse was used in the Camptown Races, an US song from the 1800's

[@antopsyco]

[@guystevens162]

Wow great video Guys. Love this brings back all the good memorys as a kid. That game on the mac it wans't it the horrace goes skiing keep up the great work from over the pond lol.

[@SoulPoetryandOtherWorks]

Another great chill out show guys. Maybe a quick shout out for the Mario Brothers and Roger Rabbit actor the great late Bob Hoskins. Loved the AI control of the 2600. I would imagine it would be the kind of thing Mark Hamil would have played while dressed as Luke Skywalker between takes on Star Wars. Fabulous work by the whole team!

[@eranfeit]

Thanks. I love your show !!!

[@RetroRecipes]

Thanks for watching!

[@KennethSorling]

Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo played in the first Mario Bros. movie.

[@System-1541]

The game was called Ski Free. The abominable snowman was awesome. He'd eat you and then pick his teeth with your arm. Kinda sick, but kinda funny.

[@evilcraftknife5705]

Is that the Cowardly Lion @16:35 Time hasn't been kind. ;)

[@madonnabarker]

As everyone knows, PCB stands for Perifractic's Calamitous Boxes.... Right? At least, that's what I think Puppyfractic was thinking there for a few minutes. Another great episode. And, yes. More livestreamed games, for sure.

[@Tarim06]

PCB WAY - PC engine Beginner ? You never held a PC Engine from NEC before... Its an amazing little console and the CD Rom add on was amazing at the time. You like music, so try listening to some of the PC Engine CD ROM music from games like, Wonder Boy 3 Monster Lair, YS Book 1& 2, Gates of Thunder and Dracula X... They were not only great games at the time but the music is amazing.

[@keithmcgerr3056]

Great vid, what a mega drive for Lego, I would be bricking it when you got the total bill at the tills / cash register.😉 I know I know Maureen lipman, or was it Bob😉

[@MichaelBattaglia]

Find someone that looks at you like the way that Puppyfractic looks at Perifractic!

[@danyoutube7491]

But is that the gaze of fascination, of love, or of a predator relishing the target at which he will one day strike?

[@WildkatPhoto]

Do you have a source for the Apple Tshirts?

[@RetroRecipes]

As mentioned they are exclusive from the Apple Store at Apple Park Cupertino. Sorry.

[@WildkatPhoto]

@@RetroRecipes LOL I either didnt rewind enough or didnt listen far enough. In any case, thank you. Cupertino is actually doable :) Love your work!

[@Frank_D]

I also love the first Super Mario Bros. movie. It's wonderful camp. Been meaning to ask: What's the little dog's name? For some reason I always want to call them the Puppyfractic Scouting Unit.

[@RetroRecipes]

Haha he’s Puppyfractic 2nd. Big one is Puppyfractic 3rd.

[@Frank_D]

@@RetroRecipes Ah. lol I didn't realize he came before her. I think 3rd was in more of the videos I saw when I first watching your channel. Do you have any videos featuring 1st. I would like to see what they look like.

[@RetroRecipes]

@@Frank_D Yes she’s blind now but still appears. She’s in the Atari VCS repair called I’ve waited 37 years to play this game, or similar! And a few others. 😊

[@RetroRecipes]

@@Frank_D Also a funny appearance during Ladyfractic’s cameo in the Pawn Stars video

[@Frank_D]

@@RetroRecipes HAHAHAHA!!! She's beautiful! All of your Puppyfractics are.

[@YouTV_Es]

You told about Kinect for XBox 360, but not the Eyetoy, for PS2...

[@X150t]

9:15 Corridor Crew did a video on the first version of photoshop with LinusTechTips. They tried editing modern photos on a Mac from 93 (I think). If you haven't seen it, it's really fun to watch.

[@plan7a]

Probable Cuts and Bruises - from running into the door frame?. (Just a thought!) One question, however, which Lego set did Lady F get out of the three she chose? Just wondering as this didn't seem clear. Thank you. (LOL).

[@mumblety]

yep. he is using mediapipe

[@wizdude]

And please - some pc engine gameplay. And the case transplant would be cool as well. The pc engine is a great platform - many great releases and such an under-rated platform and it would be great for you to do a video on it. Cheers!

[@MartinFarrell1972]

Getting confused by the early morning releases (UK) as it was my Saturday evening treat. Thinking it's Sunday morning. Great video anyway. Love lady fractics blonde hair

[@winterfam1849]

Woah didn't expect to pop up with Will again this month, the RR badge has been hidden away so I can't nab it. We've had some non retro hardware issues recently that have slowed down production of our Vic 20 coding series. But we will be back soon! Love that breakdancing c64 kid and the ps/1 on tik tok. First and only big blue machine I owned and my ultimate commander keen machine. 😎

[@RetroRecipes]

Looking forward to more in your series!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I think you need an intern to hold up your sheet music, fetch coffee and tea and to hold the sample microphone, when you fly to Chris Blyth and play on his Fairlight CMI... And I happen to know, just the person for that internship :D Woah, I can't say how much I envy you... Or is it jealousy that I feel??? It has been my dream ever since my first synth to actually touch one of them! Never seen it in real life. I would love to sample some 8bit fizzy samples on that beast and compose some "Depeche Mode" like stuff on it. BTW, I will see if I still have that RR Blend file and if I do, I can make that RR "spinny logo" with the 4 R's, then you don't need to overlay them! Clever idea, sir! I can see you are a designer by trade unlike me.

[@bytraper]

You know.. I haven't seen a video of the a1000 vs the atari 520 yet... be interesting, kinda first vs first from both Atari and commodore with the next gen

[@generalbyzantine8735]

I've lost so many friends because of the expression "New Technologies". People don't grok that teletypes are 115 years old! Telegraphs are 190 years old (more than 220 if you're French :) ). The only difference between then and today is how long it took to send cat pics. The only progress in 200 years has been Dogecoin. 😼

You don’t need any help from me as you got everything correct. Google the game dizzy on the spectrum. He was indeed an egg. 👍🕹️

[@robertmoss556]

20 years from original release is retro. Dreamcast, PS2 and Xbox are in scope. Just the facts, mam.

[@talsingh451]

I said retro is anything 16 bit and below, I'm glad most people agreed. Last time I commented on this, I had someone say that it"s anything up to N64. LOL

[@NoshAbroad]

Even that is problematic as The Sega Genesis / MegaDrive is powered by a Motorola 68000. This CPU can execute 32-bit instructions. Does that mean it is not retro? Console generation is more definite as it identifies the era and consoles involved. I believe your line would be between 4th and 5th generation consoles. Basically systems like the SNES and Neo Geo where CD-ROMs were often an accessory and not the primary form of software distribution (PC Engine Rom Rom & Genesis Sega CD.) Because nostalgia is often generational, it would be a moving target. I would call retro something that happens when the a particular generation gets old enough to remises about it's youth (typically in ones late 30s and early 40s). Get Z (1997 - 2012) is still too young for this so that would be Millennials (1981 - 1996) waxing poetic over the late 90s and early 2000s which would include 5 and 6th generations systems but primarily the PS2, Xbox and Game Cube.

[@talsingh451]

@@NoshAbroad how about simplify it further and say, anything before 3D?

[@NoshAbroad]

@@talsingh451 SNES, PC Engine both had examples of 3D on their platforms. Even the 1989 Black and White Game boy had Face Ball and "X" a legitimate 3d shooter released on them. does this mean we would have to go back to only systems before the Vectrex? That doesn't make any sense.

[@talsingh451]

@@NoshAbroad then I think it's best to stick to what I said before, 16 bit and before. Disregard those few 32 bit cartridges you mentioned, were played on a 16 bit machine.
