Ten Pence Arcade Podcast V2.0
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. Links---> https://linktr.ee/shaunholley

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.

‘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.
