Commodore’s $500 Phone Backlash Sparks Major Price Cut

This week on The Retro Hour, we dig into the big Commodore phone story as the revived brand’s new digital detox flip phone gets a major pre-launch price drop following fan reaction. We also look at Wolfenstein 3D running on the Atari Lynx, Sega’s pricey new Sonic Mega Drive re-releases, a Lotus-style racer heading to the Amiga, the surprising return of 3DO, and a brilliant new way to get your Commodore 64 chatting over Meshtastic mesh networks.
