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, musical memories, and biscuits. OMG so many biscuits.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
