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.
