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.

Apart from this there’s arcade banter, musical memories, and biscuits. OMG so many biscuits.

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.

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?

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.
