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, musical memories, and biscuits. OMG so many biscuits.

Dead Connection:
In a fit of mad hysteria Shaun called this game "A nice polished game with some janky elements".
A mish-mash dichotomy of contradictions right there.
But Dead Connection does deserve some praise.
It looks good. It sounds good. The cut-scenes are good.
But it plays like a fish. Lees meer
