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

The game? You play a little kid on a trike, peddaling around a bendy maze collecting flowers to give to a little friend on a bonus screen. Knock baddies off the road with the bendy barriers in the maze. The name of it – oh, SPATTER, obviously. Huh?
Too cute for words and obviously made by the creators of Flicky (see podcast 54)

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?

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.
