VGP Episode 7: Shenanigans at the Lock-In
This week Fred and Trees decided to stay indoors for no reason whatsoever. Despite this they still managed to replace hot water heaters, dishwashers, attack birds in dryer vents, talk the new Xbox, shop for retro games and comics, not to mention wrap up Watch Dogs and enjoy some wholesome hours in “Warzone”, the new free-to-play game/mode for Modern Warfare.

Lecture 1: The PC Engine/Turbografx-16
In this first lecture Fred goes back to 1987 and the release of the PC Engine, one of the most “hybrid” consoles of all times. Created by Hudson and NEC to be the versatility of a PC with a sole operation of gaming like a console. The PC engine utilized an 8-bit processor with 16-bit graphics, merging much of the stronger tech from the time without re-inventing the wheel for its developers. It also gave way to the first CD-ROM add-on. The talk wraps up with a discussion on the game library, what you can expect if beginning to collect, and of course the upcoming mini consoles.
