Ten Pence Arcade - 096 - Pleiads

Wahoo! A busy, busty 3 weeks has gone by. The Sky Skipper event / Arcade Club party went well, Play Expo was on, Victor and Shaun have been busy as fuel injected bees with a heavy schedule and to top that we had some lovely Americans over! The past weeks have been chock full of arcade fun.“Doesn’t like rum n raisin” ?“Likes slippers” ?“Pointless inertia guff” ?

Ten Pence Arcade - 095 - Thundercade

One of us is well versed in Thundercade. A shmup. A very good shmup. The best shmup. I don’t know of a better shmup, do you? I mean, really. It’s a shmup. God save the shmup.The other has been away. A long way away. Probably a lot of miles. To the best place. Have you seen the donuts over there? I like donuts. Who doesn’t? God save the donuts.What were we doing again?

Ten Pence Arcade - 094 - Space Harrier

No Victor this week, so Shaun is joined by The Taggsta and Daz Domination from ‘Stralia, and we have returned to the Fantasy Zone to shoot mammoths in the face. No sign of Opa Opa this time, just a guy with a gun on a mission to destroy. Fly like a really fast bird, or maybe a quick insect, all over the screen. Don’t run into owt or you may die. Peace.

Ten Pence Arcade - 093 - Donkey Kong

Oh my lord – this one is a big ‘un. Literally, an 800lb gorilla in the room! Barrels, fireballs, ladders, girders, apes! What more could one want from a single arcade game from 1981?We were also present at the Cambridge History of Computing Arcade Experience and it was AWESOME. Listen in to find out how we got on with both of the above…and remember…JAMS HAVE TO BE APPLIED FRUGALLY!

Ten Pence Arcade - 092 - Mega Twins

Singing, dancing, impressions, the medium of higher thinking – you name it, we don’t cover any of it in this podcast. Cool arcade stuff, what we’ve been playing and a review of some bobbins game IS what we do this time. Oh yes. We ask ourselves is “Mega Twins” just a cheesey euphamism for a lady’s bosoms?and remember…ALL CUSTARDS ARE GOOD CUSTARDS

Ten Pence Arcade - 091 - Dr. Micro

Well, well – we’re back after a summer holiday (of sorts) Has the evil Dr Micro poisoned the test tubes with cranberry juice and have the annoyed looking tomatoes cheered up yet? Flop, float and jump your way thru this simple platformer to absolute boredom! Yay. Hmmm.
 

Ten Pence Arcade - 090 - Fantasy Zone II

Welcome to the Fantasy Zone – get ready! For this show we delve into the multi-coloured eye-bleed world of Opa-Opa (so good they named him twice). This game plays a tad like Defender – but is it better? No. In fact, is it better than anything at all? Join us and find out.

Ten Pence Arcade - 089 - Juno First

I could use this bumf at the start to subliminally recruit my evil horde of biscuit thieves, seeing as no one cares about what I write here.STEAL LOADS OF HOBNOBS AND SEND THEM TO VICTOR AND SHAUN.But don’t tell anyone we told you to do so. Oh and play some arcade games, there’s a good chap / chapess.

Ten Pence Arcade - 088 - Commando

Blah Blah Does anyone even read this? Biscuits.Two podcasters not wearing underpants talking about playing games standing up in front of wooden boxes with TVs inside them. Buttons. Joystick. Thrills!I may need help…

Ten Pence Arcade - 087 - Phoenix

At last! Another stone cold classic that has taken ages to get to – but are the listeners united in our thoughts or are the ‘features’ just too much to take? LAIR OF THE HATEBEAKS!!! SKRAAAWR!New biscuit song!

Ten Pence Arcade - 086 - Puzzle Uo Poko

Meoww! Cat paws, fish and magical balls are all in the podcast this time around! Shaun and Victor have been away for the weekend at the Revival Retro Event in Walsall, somewhere in the middle of the UK.Bonus SkyCurser Pre Production review after it’s UK debut at The Revival retro Event.

Ten Pence Arcade - 085 - Road Fighter

This is a slightly different podcast recording – we did it together at chez Victor, had a walkround of the garage arcade and did the rest of it in a Swedish airport! Live walkround (well, we were alive) at Hey Stockholm as well as most of the usual stuff. Many thanks to Peter Koskimaki for making the Stockholm trip happen.
