Podcasts about ten pence arcade

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.

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” ?

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

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…

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

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.  

Mazes! Apes! Pigs! Er, Paint Rollers? We look at an old ‘paint 'em up' and discuss all things arcade, including one of us recently going to the EAG corporate show. Someone gets an insult Victorian stylee and a loved listener even gets a bit of a song by Brucie himself…

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'.

Solomon's Flea?, Solomon's Pea?, Solomon's Brie? No! SOLOMON'S KEY! Where is it? Why does he keep losing it? Why doesn't he have it on a chain around his neck – the silly wizard! Shaun talks to Craig Turner about the upcoming Revival event.

Take one hero out of a posse of 4 and rescue the prisoners! This hero is a bit stabby & shooty though! It's all good clean pixelly arty fun with over the top action and some MASSIVE GUNS, and, er slugs? We've had a month ‘off' of arcades* and we're raring to get back into it! All the usual stuff, plus more usual stuff. We like stuff, here. Enjoy! – Oh, and get to the outhouse and have a BEEF DROP!

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.

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…

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!

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.

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.

Busty, busty, busty – we've all been busty. Hold on –  BUSY. We've been BUSY playing arcade games and writing about them, then yapping about them. Oh joy! This time around we've been in the garden and been blasting pesky centipedes with our disembodied head, while watching out for 8 legged mother flubbers. Diagonal poopers! Spin that trackball and listen to the ten pence arcade.

We've been tasked with rescuing our tiny Kiwi friends from an evil walrus!No, we've not been hallucinating – we've been playing The New Zealand Story from those crazy dudes at Taito. Flying about on balloons and magical geese while lobbing bombs at mean teddy bears and er, spiky things. Lots of spiky things. Too many spiky things perhaps. More world records for our friends Charlie Far (David) and Pete Hahn (former GG gamer of the year)

We visit Timewarp Arcade, Bridgwater Somerset in March 2017.

‘Cor blimey guv'nor – it's old Nick ‘imself chuckin' dahn lightning bolts and thems gargoyleys lobbing unearthly stuff at'cha! Listen to the podcast to see what the above actually means! A hellish game to review – do the Ten Pencers get posessed? Will they join a black cult and start listening to dark music (one already does) But it's good old fashioned arcade fun at the end of the day – don't worry! Some poor unfortunate from ‘Down Under' gets an 1800s battering from the Victorian insulters.

Blah, blah, guff about something that may have happened in the podcast recording or just some nonsense that falls out of my head. What exactly is a biscuit shark, anyway? Warning! – Shaun's opinion may be wrong. Or right. YOU decide.  

A lickle tiny giftington to the lovely listeners to tide them over the xmas holiday period. Grab a Turkey sandwich and yer headphones and get stuck into two buffoons yapping about the top 50 arcade games as voted for by YOU, yes – YOU DECIDED! Featuring :- Dave Punisher Pete Punisher Death Equals Adder Them ‘fork things' Crashing a red car and a blonde woman falls out

Weeeeeee're back! With a bumper podcast reviewing not one, not two, but, oh – actually 2 games. One in a top secret hotel and the other billions of light years away in a massive garden. Probably. We've both been super busy and missed all our lovely listeners, but rest assured 2018 will be arcadtabulous. Yes, I went there. AND I MEANT IT. Now go and play Robert Smith and the Deadly Chicken Dinner. We also find out that Shaun is possessed by a Marmot or Marmite?

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!  

We're back – AGAIN! One is back from New York (heavily laden with Cheez Its) and the other from Play Expo Blackpool (heavily laden with a poorly voice).

When you have eyes like footballs, you may notice that a wasp is a fake bee (if you look VERY closely) Rivetting speed limit section with chat about shooting rocks right int' face.

This week in Robotron… Shaun is busy being an absolute unit while Victor deals with a Cybernetik Pick n Mix Revolt. Sandra on the checkouts isn't having any of it. BEWARE THE MAN IN THE QUADRAHAT!!!
