In Sharka's QuickBytes, I'll be taking a bite-sized (byte-sized?) look at retro games, usually several per video when I'm covering a particular series or theme. There'll be more editing and shorter and more scripted commentary in QuickBytes than in the laid-back Nostalgic Nibbles and MEGABytes series', and most vids won't be longer than ten minutes - perfect for a quick blast of Sharka-themed retro goodness.

It has its flaws and its difficulty is hateful at times, but my socks were blown right off by what Psygnosis and Reflections were trying to do here with AWESOME, blending shumpery with a dash of space trading.
