Compaq gives birth to the PC clone, Commodore and TI declare war on Sinclair & A day of reckoning awaits the software business These stories and many more on this episode of the VGNRTM This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in January 1983. As always, we'll mostly be using magazine cover dates, and those are of course always a bit behind the actual events. Jon from the Retro Games Squad is our cohost.

Hoy tenemos en spectrumeros podcast a Raul Carrillo, aunque todos lo conoceis mas como Metsuke. Nos contará lo que sabe de ser un huevo que lucha por su libertad o una pelota pastillera que ve a los espiritus.
Este mes contamos con la presencia de Rafael Rueda, autor de la columna mensual Nexus 7 en MicroManía, que nos revela los detalles de su colaboración durante 10 años en nuestra revista favorita. Junto a él nos ha salido un podcast muy Commodoriano. MicroManía#09 trae en portada al machote de Sylvester Stallone protagonizando Rambo III de Ocean, una completa y divertida videoaventura que se pasa sin pestañear, y a pecho descubierto queremos creer, aunque no tengamos la cámara de ángulo inverso para corroborarlo, nuestro intrépido colaborador @jgonza. Como MegaJuego tenemos la conversión a 8 bits de PacMania, una reimaginación de Pac Man en perspectiva isométrica con enormes mapeados y scroll "multidimensional", según Andreu, aunque eso ya para cuando salga en VR holográfico, de momento será solo multidireccional. Comentamos también Tuareg, Tiger Road, Strip Poker II plus y Batman The caped crusader entre otros mencionados como siempre para vuestros sistemas favoritos: Amstrad, MSX, Commodore y Spectrum (favoritos en ese orden, por supuesto). Completan el programa el informe de aventuras conversacionales y los míticos arcades Shadow Warriors y Ghouls'n Ghosts.
