Strap on your driving gloves, grab street cash and get it to the bank, quick! Steer clear of bunk rubbers and weird steamrollers ( ? ) Use a deadly saw horse to get you out of trouble! Usual nonsense or actually a good description of the game? Listen to this podcast and YOU can decide!

Gyruss – Journey to Blackburn, via the M40 and M6, with a diversion through Neptune. Fly with us through the solar system to try and get home in time for dinner (we’re having spaghetti hoops!)

Oh lord – has Doc Mac picked a game for us! Horny Eddie as we call it, but actually, your character is a bit of an action hero. But did we like it?, did the listeners like it? Listen in and find out. The wintery holiday festivity things have been and gone and we are now recovering from Xmas pud and brussell sprout poisoning. So, pull up a comfortable podcast player and listen to us ramble about ar...

We’ve been on an arcade road & air trip to Chicago! Biscuits & Gravy, Galloping Ghost, Walmart, Underground Retrocade, Chik Fil A, Pixel Blast, Burritos, Logan Arcade etc. Listen in to hear us tell of some of the best arcades on the planet in the heart of arcade land.

Oh! We think we’ve found a hidden, lost, forgotten about diamond in the dark with this show’s game! No idea what the name means but, it’s a great little game. SEND SHAUN ALL YOUR OLD SCART BLOCKS!!!

Truxton 2 or DK Remix Spooky Edition? We’ve been playing both! Some more than others… Truxton 2 – Tedious or amazing? We decide! We argue! We laugh! We cry! It changed our lives (or not)

On this episode we discuss ‘are Twinkies any good’, how many CRT monitors Shaun actually needs and is Lewis Waddington actually Shaun’s alter ego (he’s not) Another cab finds it’s way in to Victor’s arcade as one bids farewell (or actually forcibly removed from the premises)

Cute, but dead ‘ard – that’s us! Er, no, that’s this show’s featured game Plus Alpha from Jaleco. Shaun finds out that that metal cupboard in the kitchen with a hole in it is actually an oven. He can now have hot pies now.

Dix Francs Arcade Presente Le Menage A Trois avec Victor, Shaun & Alex Bagman ou ‘Le Bagnard’ par Valadon Automatique. Un jeu en Francais sur les sacs d’argent et les chariots de train agacants. Aussi, des biscuits.  

Recorded live over the Arcade Club / UKVAC partaaaaay weekend. Actually, while looking VERY suspicious in a parked car…  

Flax? Fraks? Cacks? Trax? Snacks? (oh, yes please – got any Hob Nobs?) NO! – KLAX! It’s the nineties and a time for Klax, of course! Go back in time and order yourself a t shirt, man! This podcast was recorded LIVE at the Centre For Computing History in Cambridge BIG NEWS IN THE HOLLEY CAMP! Victor gets Rampage Disrememberance.

The game? You play a little kid on a trike, peddaling around a bendy maze collecting flowers to give to a little friend on a bonus screen. Knock baddies off the road with the bendy barriers in the maze. The name of it – oh, SPATTER, obviously. Huh? Too cute for words and obviously made by the creators of Flicky (see podcast 54) “There’s no walls in the sky” – True dat, mother.  

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it on fire? Or is it just a drab Galaxian clone? We will get to the bottom of this!

Aaaarrgh – iiiie – aaaawaargh! Yeah, right. YOU try spelling that noise Tarzan makes at the start of Jungle Hunt. I hope a monkey tosses you off your rope! NERG! Bonehead Steve’s mini meet up! London Video Gaming Market! Other Stuff – may feature a side scrolling man.

Bobbles and Bubbles – In a fantasy land where your partners have been kidnapped by a drunken geezer (superdrunkdave) and you’ve been turned into a cute dragon. Phew. What a day! Get bubblin’ and eat tons of fruit and junk food. My favourite things. When is someone going to make the fighting game – ‘Flutes Of Fear’ ???  

Uh oh. No one is owning up to picking the less than great game this podcast. LET’S HAVE A WITCH HUNT! BURN THE WITCH! Or, maybe try and find some positives in it? Who knows? It may be the best game in the world (it’s not)

We reminisce the Revival retro Event while banging on about arcade games and biscuits.  Ah, the love of twiddling a biscuit’s joystick and dunking an arcade cabinet in a mug of tea… Beware of stuff falling out of Shaun’s head… Victor makes wrong  words during a quiz. Sounds legit?

This is a lo-fi recorded podcast from a hotel room in Walsall, UK. We were both enjoying Revival Retro event and this was after the first day’s play.  We get joined by ‘housekeeping’ in the form of Nintendo Arcade Alex Crowley, who gives a bit of an insight into our featured game – ALANS.

Shaun & Victor put on their best ‘Crimson Scorcher’ lipstick and a Marilyn Monroe beauty spot to play a classic game, with a fun speedup hack – seen on many updated arcade machines running Pac-Man’s lady friend. Learn cornering and play along with us in a sea of daftness with tiny islands of wisdom.  

Oooo – arrr! Like an unripe avocado, a bag of Kryptonite nails or lego that imbeds into your foot – Ghouls and bleedin’ Ghosts. Impossible? NO! Some weirdos can actually complete it – TWICE! Listen in as our intrepid podcasters whine about how hard the dang thing is. Up yours Capcom!  

Shaun & Victor agree on arcade games being awesome but come to actual blows on this show’s featured game. Oh dear. Bruises before bedtime. Hopefully the guesty mc guest face co host Vipp can get in the middle and stop them hitting each other with their fetching handbags. Shaun’s has bullets embroidered into it and Victor’s has a ‘Harrumph!’ sticker on it.  

Uh oh. There’s an 800lb Gorilla in the room – and he’s your dad! That dastardly Mario (I thought he was the good guy?) has monkey napped him and imprisoned him in a cage. Get those keys and free him! Watch out for the return of the HATE BEAKS!!!! SQUARRRRRRK!

Alan Baba and 40 Thieving Gets – hammer those muthafu**ers! It’s all Trollnads’ fault!!! Eugene Jarvis at Arcade Club!
