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

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.

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.
