A Grammy nominated musician and a fellow PC nerd Dan Policar joins me to talk about the legendary Roland MT-32. We discuss its history, strengths, drawbacks, and give advice on purchasing your own vintage unit. Join us to find out if paying $700 in 1987 was worth it.

“We were somewhere around the comments section, on the edge of YouTube, when the anger began to take hold.” Russian video-blogger Dmitry Bachilo returns to discuss what it is like to be a retro gaming-centered content creator. In between being silly and self-deprecating about our hobby we also manage to discuss some serious issues, and give honest advice. “We can’t stop here. This is .BAT country!”
