Uh oh. No one is owning up to picking the less than great game this podcast.
LET’S HAVE A WITCH HUNT! BURN THE WITCH!
Or, maybe try and find some positives in it? Who knows? It may be the best game in the world (it’s not)

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?

This is a lo-fi recorded podcast from a hotel room in Walsall, UK. We were both enjoying Revival Retro event and this was after the first day’s play. We get joined by ‘housekeeping’ in the form of Nintendo Arcade Alex Crowley, who gives a bit of an insight into our featured game – ALANS.

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.
