Description
A Retro Video Arcade Games podcast, and a continuation of the original Ten Pence Arcade Podcast which ran from January 2013 - June 2024.
Every month Shaun and Alex cover a single old-school game in depth, discussing graphics, sound, game play etc.
We also run the Ten Pence High Score League, a monthly contest where listeners submit their scores on the games we review.
Apart from this there’s arcade banter, news, and biscuits. OMG so many biscuits.

This is the first show with Shaun and new (original OG) co-host Alex.
Part 1 of the show: Alex's Arcade Life Story: here's some of his highlights.
Record sleeves gnawed by a hamster.
Cream licked off ears by a dog.
Dangling his baubles at Christmas.
Sticking cheese down the back of the TV.

Psycho horse impression.
Part 2 of the show: Game Review. High Scores. Biscuit review.
Oh, and we're also helped along by 'The Incorrect Announcer'.
TEN PENCE CONTINUES! Outgoing host @TenPenceArcade Victor joins me @ShaunHolley one last time as we find it's Game Not Over at @Revivalrevents in Wolverhampton; there's second floor shenanigans at @TimewarpArcade in Bridgwater, and a Sky Skipping knowledge bomb dropped at the @Arcade_Archive in Stroud. Oh, and we also discuss the featured game - the flappy flappy Nintendo Joust-a-like Balloon Fight. Lastly, on occasion we may discuss biscuits. Lots and lots of biscuits.
