Checkmate Commodore - This Week In Retro 148

Doom and Doom II remade for the Atari Jaguar, a discussion about image scalers for retro gaming and do you know what Commodore's 2nd computer actually was?  All that and the Atari 2600+, news in brief and the Community Question Of The week. The Christmas edition of Pixel Addict is now available and it features stories about Christmas games and toys of old(ish).
