Man, us Aussie kids were calling him “Rye-ewe” (as in the type of bread and the other name for a sheep).

Hehe I drop the 'u' at the end of Fujitsu as the Japanese don't pronounce it xx
Same as Famitsu magazine or Ryo's home town in Shenmue is Yokosuka but said as Yokoska xx

Firstly, a fantastically informative video - had never heard of the FM Towns Marty before so something for me to store in the deep dark recesses of my brain for obscure trivia night questions!
I have a couple of bits of feedback (and by all means do what you fancy, these are your videos at the end of the day!):
Are you saying “Fujits” or “Fujitsu” (difference being the “u” added or removed)? I would have called this out on stream at the time but I clearly missed it (oops). Not a big deal but thought I would raise the point.
Also, would you consider adding a lower-third or an info box on screen when showing footage of a particular game? Maybe basic information like game title and development studio (and year of release although that could be a bit of a pain depending on region). I know you do mention the games by name when on screen but a visual cue might also help audiences if they are scrubbing through your video for the particular game footage.
Keep up the amazing work, I love learning about these weird and wonderful consoles and games - it really does take me back to the old days :)
