Game the System Podcast

Marc, Matt and .... John? Maybe not John, but Marc and Matt are back! In this episode Marc and Matt discuss the Hyper Mega Tech! Super Pocket that is Evercade compatible. The whole Billy Mitchell roller coaster ride that seems to have no ending. And lastly, a bit of Lode Runner arcade, which no one seems to remember ever playing.

Marc, John and... Mark? Get together and chat about the whole scene around bar arcades and how things are progressing or regressing. 1989 Arcade Bar is closing and it hurts. There's something coming in February apparently? And John and Marc talk about their last few years operating games in Beercade.
