Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Regardless of your faith (or lack thereof), come join in our Christmas celebrations! We all share stories about this time of year and the various games/consoles/computers that brought us here today! And in some cases, actually raised us! We also do our Arcade Attack not-so-secret santa! £15 can stretch really rather far... Fancy discussing points raised i...

In the first of our Christmas specials, Adrian talks about a Christmas-themed hidden gem that if you have it could fetch you more than a pretty penny! We also bounce about some other Christmas-themed games, but my is it slim pickings! Stay tuned for the second part of the specials which we'll be releasing Christmas weekend!

Why do we do it? It's flippin awesome! OK, spoiler alert over, the AA crew go through what drives us to spend £££$$$ on games that were released over twenty years ago and the favourite bits of our respective collections. We also discuss a craze we're currently very fond of, random monthly boxes! And thanks to theretro.co.uk  you can enter our competition to win one of these boxes! Simply keep an e...

Yup, they're "at each other's throats" again. Dylan is bringing Out Run, Keith is bringing Power Drift. Hear the history. Hear the facts. There can only be one winner, who will emerge victorious?

Seeing as we're called Arcade Attack we thought it best to actually talk about an arcade game, nay, possibly the best multiplayer arcade game ever! There's no possiblies as far as Rob is concerned, so hear him orchestrate a discussion of the game's finer points and whether there'd be scope to bring it back...

Are we serious? Yes, we're serious. NBA Jam is up against the Atari-Jaguar-only White Men Can't Jump, a game so loosely based on the film it hurts, in this week's face-off! We also mither how a NBA Jam movie would turn out. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes are nowhere to be seen, which is probably for the best...

A slightly different podcast for you this week. The AA crew discuss films that should really have licenced games made about them. Ranging from Commando to The Truman Show, the gang explain how they would have made them into retro games using 90s tech. With some curveballs thrown in (thanks a lot Adrian!) it all gets a bit silly. But we like silly. Fancy arguing with us over the points raised in th...

Road Redemption is finally fit for public consumption! So Dylan thought it'd be a great idea to talk the AA crew through the ups and downs of the Road Rash franchise and whether the ultimate lows have been redeemed by the fan game. We think EA might owe the boys and gals down at Pixel Dash a pint or two...

The Creepypasta story that helped defined the genre and praised worldwide is brought to life by Adrian and the Arcade Attack crew in our first ever "audiobook". Followed by Adrian's critique, this is a podcast not to be missed. Check out our interview with Ben Drowned author Alex Hall @  http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/alex-hall-ben-drowned/ Fancy arguing with us over the points raised in this podca...

In the first of our Halloween Specials we take a look at the landmark title Night Trap, what surrounded its initial release and what the PS4 version has to offer.

Parmaount have announced there's going to be a Sonic movie out in a few years' time and it's gotten us all hot and bothered at Arcade Attack. Dylan immediately regrets bringing the whole thing up but there is one thing we're unanimous on - Emma Stone needs to be a part of it. Fancy arguing with us over the points raised in this podcast?

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has an almost perfect Metacritic score. The N64 classic is often touted as one of the best game ever made. Adrian introduces a homage to (arguably) the greatest Action/Adventure game released. Ocarina of Time brings back so many happy memories for Adrian, he just had to share his story of how important this game meant to him growing up. Is it truly the best Zel...

Is there any actor that's been immortalised in video games more than Sly? We really doubt it. From Rocky to Demolition Man to Judge Dredd, we have a chat about his finer (and not so finer) attempts at VG immortality. There's bound to be (at least) a second part of this...

On the eve of the UK release of the mini Super Nintendo, we discuss its lineup, the lineup of its NES predecessor and what games we'd rather see instead. After some mild fisticuffs we move on to what we'd like to see in a N64 Mini which is surely on the horizon.

The tale of Vince Perri and Action 52 is one that is often told but definitely worthy of a revisit. Adrian tells us the story, the highlights of the doomed 52-game compendium (with extracts from our interview with head dev Mario Gonzalez), and why it will always have a place in video gaming folklore. Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of conversation? Please tweet us  @arcadea...

It's about time we talked about retro video game music. Keith kicks us off with his favourite VGM soundtracks and what makes them special for him, which then leads to a heated discussion (almost leading to fisticuffs - hmm maybe), finishing with a VGM quiz hosted by Keith which you can all follow along to. Let us know how you did on said quiz @arcadeattackUK Please also consider subscribing to the...

Adrian and Keith talk us through their favourite obscure SNES games. Adrian brings the sprawling map "shooter" The Firemen to the table whilst Keith tells us all about the platform japes in Demon's Crest.

Quite a lot as it turns out... Dylan subjects the AA crew to an hour and a half of Bubsy "goodness", looking back at all of his console adventures, the legendary cartoon pilot and of course (what we thought was the nail in the coffin) Bubsy 3D. Please also consider subscribing to the Arcade Attack Retro Gaming podcast on your favourite podcast platform. We are on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Po...

Has Dylan finally lost the plot? Here he "treats" us to a rundown of all three (yes, three) Dino Crisis games, tells us what made (some of) it good, how it went horribly wrong and whether if done right, this could have been bigger than Resident Evil. Needless to say everyone laughed. A lot. Is Dino Crisis in desperate need of a remaster? Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of c...

Do we love Katamari? You betcha bottom dollar we do! Adrian talks about his love for the game, how he ruined a perfectly good PS1 game in the course of enjoying said game, and also where the series could have gone (we're guessing in a big ball the size of the earth). Is this the best Katamari game in the series?  Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of conversation? Please tweet...

Quite possibly (in our Dylan's eyes) the best Resident Evil game ever made, whch is no mean feat given the (approx) 1,000,000 games in the franchise. Here we look at what makes the game so special for us, pick out its best bits and enjoy some of that oh so awesome soundtrack. Fancy discussing this podcast? Fancy suggesting a topic of conversation? Please tweet us  @arcadeattackUK  and catch us on ...

Rob talks us through the current craze of matching retro gaming with booze - is it a good idea? What would make it better? Is it going to stick around? Honourable mentions to the Four Quarters, Heart of Gaming and Pixel Alley. Please also consider subscribing to the Arcade Attack Retro Gaming podcast on your favourite podcast platform.

Two games that laid the groundwork for current FPS games and hold a special place in our hearts. Adrian takes us through the Half-Life games, Counter-Strike and what made them important. Interspersed with music from the games for your enjoyment. http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/marc-laidlaw/ - our chat with HL chief storywriter Marc Laidlaw http://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/minh-le/ - our chat with CS co...

Yes that is a Subbuteo t-shirt I'm wearing! Embarrassing photo aside we thought it'd be nice in our 20th podcast to tell you a bit about how we got here. No, not our bad life decisions but what gaming consoles we grew up with, what ones we're filling our homes with now, and our thoughts on life (it sucks, gaming rules). www.arcadeattack.co.uk Please also consider subscribing to the Arcade Attack R...

Adrian tells the story of the ill-fated Atari Jaguar peripheral and an unreleased game that could have changed the world... Black Ice / White Noise could have changed the gaming world.
