In another dimension, another time and space, a parallel universe was fallin’ on its face. When out of the chaos, who else could it be but the animal adventures from S.P.A.C.E.? It’s time to talk about Bucky - Konami’s Bucky O’Hare! Are we the only podcast to ever spend 2+ hours talking about the Bucky O’Hare arcade game? Did Konami pour more time and effort into this game than any of their other licensed titles? What part does Sugar Bear from “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” play in the...

A new miniseries begins as we explore arcade games based on cartoons (and there’s going to be a lot of bangers). To start, we enter the animated sewers to bring you the #1 most-requested arcade game - Konami’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! How did this game pave the way for Konami arcade domination in the early 90s? Does TMNT have the best gag of any arcade game? Did Lindsay Lohan draw the training scene art for Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! on a V-Tech Video Painter? Did Konami try to give the...

We bring the Mounted Gun miniseries to a close with a good old fashioned Arcade Obscura. Each of us brings our pick for an obscure or underrated mounted gun game but one game is so obscure we invite the only person known to own it onto the podcast - Doc Mack from The Galloping Ghost arcade! Who is giving all these zombies guns? What American city has its own arcade game named after it? Are birthday cake Oreos really as gross as we make them out to be (yes)? Will an arcade game nearly 30 years...

We’re back in the saddle again with another Midway mounted gun game that’s not the same old song and dance. So if you don’t want to miss a thing then walk this way as we cover this amazing and crazy game. Let’s get back in the saddle with Revolution X: Music is the Weapon. Featuring: Aerosmith - Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer. Why should this game really have Featuring: Kerri Hoskins instead of Aerosmith? Who is responsible for this game not becoming Boot...

Konami trains an entire generation to become snipers as they task you with saving the model 90s American First Family, but not their secretary. In this episode we’re taking a long, focused look at the biggest gun in the arcade, Silent Scope. Why are there so many “wow” moments in this game? Will Jarrod ever reclaim the Mr. SNK title from Rob? Is this the only video game where you can shoot Tom and Jerry in the head or are they in Fortnite? Which version of Silent Scope 2 had the best...

Midway hits all their targets when they make THE mounted gun game of the 90s, Terminator 2: Judgment Day (and it was all thanks to Narc). What actors gave it their all to bring the arcade game to life? Which host hasn’t seen the prequel to this movie (and how is that not at all surprising)? Who recorded more dialogue for the game than they did for the movie? How does one gameplay tip make this game so much easier? We also answer Discord questions that take us into the legal gray area that is...

Let’s play the 80s version of Operation! It has a lot of changes over the popular board game like the tweezers being replaced with an Uzi and instead of Cavity Sam we’re operating on unspecified enemy troops to rescue hostages… actually these games don’t seem to be related at all. In this episode we’re talking about THE mounted gun game of the 80s, Taito’s Operation Wolf (and the sequels that followed it). What was the name of that kids game show where winners ran through the maze and stuck...

It’s time to explore the way of the light gun with one important condition - it’s mounted to the arcade control panel. Our first episode of this new miniseries explores the transition from electromechanical to video with the Exidy light gun games that brought multiple C’s to the arcade with Crossbow, Cheyenne, and Chiller. Is the Chiller controversy valid? What is the best way to describe the gameplay of Crossbow? How shameful is it to be a former fan of Friends? Which Cheyenne gang has the...

The board has been repaired and we’re dedicating an entire episode to cover our last selection of 1993 - Samurai Shodown! Is SamSho the most underrated fighting game of the 90s? How does the Edo period heavily influence this game and make the inclusion of some characters impossible? What blade-handed character is responsible for the creation of Samurai Shodown? Will Mr. SNK...

Can you still hire pontoon plane pilots on Fiver? Will we make Jarrod’s childhood dreams come true? Did we stumble upon the original RoboCop? Where can we buy a...
