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

(SH) Victor is off this month watering his new plants in Glasgow, so I’m joined by a guest. Who you may ask? It’s only Paul Driscoll, AKA The Drisk, that’s who. Paul’s encyclopedic knowledge of gaming has put him in good stead to found the University Of Reet Good Gaming in Central Birmingham. 1000s of students from all across Bartley Green have flocked to the university to listen to Mr. Drisk do some spiel about ancient pixel history and to be learnt right up.
Apologies folks: some, if not all, of that last paragraph may contain factual discrepancies, inconsistencies, and downright lies. I get carried away sometimes. But Paul IS on the show though. So get listening, b!tches!

Joust is a true oddity in arcade history. It’s a bit like Flappy Bird but not quite as good. “Line up against that wall, Holley” said the members of the Joust-Is-Ace Firing Squad Division

One of these games could've been the inspiration for Bomber Man.
The other one could've been the inspiration for people vomiting on roller coasters.
