Marc, Matt and .... John? Maybe not John, but Marc and Matt are back! In this episode Marc and Matt discuss the Hyper Mega Tech! Super Pocket that is Evercade compatible. The whole Billy Mitchell roller coaster ride that seems to have no ending. And lastly, a bit of Lode Runner arcade, which no one seems to remember ever playing.

Marc, John and... Mark? Get together and chat about the whole scene around bar arcades and how things are progressing or regressing. 1989 Arcade Bar is closing and it hurts.

Marc, John and Matt are back to tell some stories about what's been going on in the last few months. Sadly, a lot of it is at home during the Sydney lockdown, but that doesn't stop us having a stupid amount of retro to talk about! Pull up a chair, your favourite beverage, and enjoy us talking nonsense...

We still live! Marc Matt and John sits down for yet another chat about the games they've been playing and the adventures therein. That somehow includes air conditioners, washing machines, and not so surprisingly, beer! This recording was back in December 2020 and finally released months later. Life finds a way.

Lockdown is in effect! Marc Matt and John record the first ever remote podcast where we chat about the impact on bar arcades and events and small businesses. We also chat about what we've been doing in isolation including some comfort games like Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Diablo, and a whole bunch of arcade repairs! Our thoughts go out to everyone effected by the coronavirus situation.
