553: Gremlin Graphics Is Back: What Happens Next? - The Retro Hour EP553
Episode 553
Friday, 16 October, 2026

Gremlin Graphics is making a comeback, and this week we meet Alan Turvey, the lifelong fan helping bring it back through Gremlin Graphics Classics. Alan shares how a Monty Mole project led to a partnership with founder Ian Stewart, the plans to bring classic characters to new audiences, and the community of bedroom coders helping make it happen. We also explore his journey with Midnight Brew, the painstaking work to recreate Gremlin’s lost artwork for a new book, and why giving fans the chance to work with their heroes is at the heart of the revival.https://open.spotify.com/show/0Rq9lZoWphzXvxkrETrWg0Contents:00:00 – The Week’s Retro News Stories1:00:03.549 – Gremlin Graphics Alan Turvey InterviewPlease visit our amazing sponsors and help to support the show:Bitmap Books – https://www.bitmapbooks.comGo to https://surfshark.com/retrohour or use code RETROHOUR at checkout to get 4 extra months of Surfshark!Glasgow Gaming Market: https://lnk.ua/qa16qr9YfCheck out PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needsWe need your help to ensure the future of the podcast, if you’d like to help us with running costs, equipment and hosting, please consider supporting us on Patreon:https://theretrohour.com/support/https://www.patreon.com/retrohourJoin our Discord channel: https://discord.gg/GQw8qp8Website: http://theretrohour.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theretrohour/X: https://twitter.com/retrohourukInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/retrohouruk/Show notesAtari 800XL official details: https://lnk.ua/gEFrOJqZpClassic games on VHS: https://lnk.ua/OSkrtc6HrSuperStation One gets new colours: https://lnk.ua/92rrYtHq5Taki Udon teases FPGA SNES: https://lnk.ua/PsPhiAyoMMario Kart Game Boy demake: https://lnk.ua/iR3QLbQjvSuper Mario Kart goes fullscreen: https://lnk.ua/bxtKkIqhhDoom gets the Vectrex treatment: https://lnk.ua/ZaNstWSNmSuperAstra changes games with AI: https://lnk.ua/E0zOllC5n
