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.

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. 'Bundling'. 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'.

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…

BOING, BOING, BOING! Flop eared marsupial ‘fun’ at the Ten Pence towers this time. Everyone loves Kangaroo, right?

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.  

FURTHER INTO UNKNOWN WORLD! Victor and Shaun are piloting time this time. If only they could turn back time? They keep on podcasting time after time. Oh lord. All the ‘time’ lyrics. Remember kids, DON’T RISK IT FOR A BISCUIT!

We play a bit of a ‘ropey’ game – d’ya get it? See what we did there. Oh, never mind… Dig Dug with a 6 letter hi score? Nonsense, sir! Level 5 – IT’S FULL OF BANANAS! RETURN OF THE HATEBEAK INTRODUCING LOVEBEAK

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” ?

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?

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.

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!

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

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.
