Arcade Attack Retro Gaming Podcast

**Watch the YouTube video if you want to see our "lovely" faces**

James hosts a blockbuster of an episode where we look at our early gaming rental video stories. Some of the memories are extremely happy, whereas others open up old wounds of scathing employees and accusations of shoplifting!

Plus an old friend and supporter of the podcast makes his Arcade Attack podcast debut! Steve spills the beans about what life was like working at Blockbuster in the early 2000s and reveals all the secrets of the much loved company! We also look at the rise and fall of Blockbuster and the overall rental market.

Keith and the gang finally open up the can of worms/mushrooms that is The Last of Us. Naughty Dog's behemoth has been wowing gamers since its release on the PS3 in 2013, but how good is it?

Also seems a good time to discuss HBO's slick small-screen adaptation. Here's 2.5 hours of TLOU goodness. And we might just discuss the sequel later this year.

Errr, it's sort of an interview (you'll see).

Adrian asked the VGM legend George Sanger (The Fat Man) for a text interview for Arcade Attack. George went above and beyond and recorded his answers in video form. 

He's an American musician who has composed music for computer and video games. Some of his best-known works include The 7th Guest, Wing Commander, Hard Nova, Maniac Mansion (NES version), Loom, Tux Racer, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

George is a really funny guy and gave some great answers! Enjoy!

Dean from Sega Powered and Daniel from indie publishers WAVE Game Studios join Dyl for a chat to discuss this month's issue of Sega Powered. An issue that contains - wait for it - an actual Dreamcast demo CD packed with four demos and additional content.

They discuss why the issue is an absolute must-purchase (once they're gone, they're gone), why the games (Intrepid Izzy, Shadow Gangs, Flea! and Driving Strikers) are worthy of your time and, of course, the joys and pitfalls of bringing a print magazine and unknown indie games to the masses. We throw in some SEGA chat for you as well of course.

Order your issue now at SEGA Powered

Try saying that after a few Martinis! Keith's come up with an amazing way for us to actually talk about arcade games (in your face, people who said our name was wrong!)

The boys choose one each, give a little bit of background and explain why you should/shouldn't play their game.

A lorry game that's more fun than it should be, another based on an ill-fated cartoon, a game Adrian mentions more than occasionally and the weirdest beat 'em up ever conceived (probably) take centre stage.

Wanna hear some Brits talking about American Football while sounding vaguely like they know what they're talking about? Well you've come to the right place!

After Christmas last year, the sport bid a sad farewell to the legend John Madden. So on the eve of Superbowl LVI we thought it only right to pay tribute to a great coach, presenter, and leader of the renowned Madden video game series.

More about the man himself, how great the early games were, how challengers to the crown fell by the wayside and the sorry state of today's Madden games all covered in this 80-minute chat.

I think the title says it all. Our pal Todd tied us, gagged us, and locked us in a rather questionable Travelodge to bring you his favourite SNES soundtracks. And we're glad he did.

No spoilers, just jump on in and enjoy.

Is Batman Returns a good movie? Were the licensed games any good? Dyl and the gang attempt to answer these questions and many more.

As well as the film, we tackle a thumping 16-bit beat em up, a limp 8-bit game that's far too easy and a very purple 16-bit game made slightly better by the presence of the Batmobile.

Action 52 is regarded by many as the worst NES games/carts of all time but my, does it have a fascinating story. Entrepreneur Vince Perri's foray into the video games industry was a mammoth 52 game compilation all on one NES cart. What resulted was a curious mix of games, many of which were unplayable. 

Adrian, furious at how The Cheetahmen never became mainstream, channeled this energy into tracking down Action 52 producer Mario Gonzalez for this fascinating insight into a cart which could have been the best NES cart of all time. But it wasn't. Enjoy.

One of Sony’s brightest talents he went on to help The Getaway (PS2) win a BAFTA in one of his first jobs. Stellar work at Ubisoft and Microsoft followed so he’s quite a story to tell.

Mike is now working at Antstream and helping keep retro gaming alive!

On a retrogaming podcast? Are you kidding me?! Sort of. Our journey into the cold wastelands of Patreon has opened up a few opportunities to do different things. Adrian's mum's erotic novel is one (we're all petrified, don't worry) and the opportunity to talk about more modern stuff is another.

Dylan (of all people) introduces the concept and the boys open up about the modern games they've been enjoying the last few years and ones which are due a Patreon podcast or two. From Microsoft's Forza offerings to PlayStation exclusives to er, Breath of the Wild and Stadia (oh we go there), we hope there's something to tantalise your taste buds for the future.

We don't capitalise much but the latest Sound Test effort from our Keith certainly deserves it - Amiga POWER!

Dylan stole some of the more well-known tracks for his driving mix in 2020 but Keith didn't need to dig deep to find some absolute beauties. From Alien Breed to Turrican 2, from Brimble to Huelsbeck, it's all here in lovely Amiga stereo-quality goodness.

So put your feet up and relax to almost two hours of Amiga POWER!

Howard Scott Warshaw left an undeniable mark on the video game industry! After creating the amazing Yars' Revenge for the Atari 2600, it seemed Howard would become one of the true pioneers of the video game industry... In fact, he would almost single handily go on to to destroy the industry with the release of E.T.

Howard shares some amazing stories in his short-lived but hugely influential career in gaming. He gives some truly honest and revealing answers on how one man was blamed for almost grinding the video game industry to a halt.

Howard also reflects on his amazing new book; Once Upon Atari: How I made history by killing an industry.

The creator of Eternal Champions was a friend and (amazingly) a fan of the show. His passing at such a young age came as a shock to us all. We wanted to pay tribute to an amazing man so here's a little bit of AA discussion followed by some lovely interviews Adrian had with Michael's closest friends and ex colleagues.

What are the best N64 games to hit the market? Mario Kart, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye or even Resident Evil 2? Well, buckle up for our definitive list...

Laugh at us once more as we come up with a "definitive" console Top 25 using strange algorithms based on whoever's hosting the episode. This week it's Dylan's turn to host the N64 top 25 as he's barely played 20 N64 games (better leave it to the experts eh?) And don't worry, you're not going mad, this episode was filmed after Thanksgiving and was postponed for a whole load of reasons.

Let's not beat about the bush, this is now our 200th episode extravaganza as the drunk mailbox episode was a complete write-off for several reasons. Will it ever see the light of day? Possibly.

Gunstar Heroes, Tomb Raider, the SEGA Menacer... Just a few of the titles and projects ex-SEGA producer Mac Senour helped create. Enjoy a great interview with a true SEGA legend.

Mac Senour shares some really eye-opening and unbelievable stories about his time working as a producer for SEGA for Arcade Attack. Mac reflects on the extremely strained relationship between SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan during the early 90's with some stories you need to hear to believe.

He also discusses his vital role on getting the legendary Gunstar Heroes released - which seemed to be destined for the bin! Mac also talks about his role on the SEGA Menacer gun, working on Taz for the Game Gear, playing golf with Clint Eastwood and getting hit in the stomach by Joe Frazier. Mac also reflects on his time working for Atari and US Gold and his role in helping Lara Croft and Tomb Raider see the light of day. Mac also provided a lovely text interview in the past for Arcade Attack.

The Sega Activator, Mind Link and an inflatable motorbike for the NES are just three of the treats in store. And Troy Aikman gets a good "kicking", what more could you ask for?

Like seriously, wtf?? So it's not a thousand but it's about twenty which is as ridiculous as its marketing. The PC Engine (as we'll call it here in the show notes) is a thing of wonder at Arcade Attack as none of us owned one. Why? We shouted "rise from your gwaaave" at Keith a lot and it worked! He's here to explain all to coincide with him finally getting ahold of Konami's mini version of the console.

So let Mr B explain how the NEC/Hudson Soft partnership came about, what made the console so special in Japan and pretty much redundant everywhere else, what the most popular titles on it are, the crazy CD peripherals and what he made of the mini. We also discuss one of the most famous Kanye West myths of all time. Bonk, anyone?

Mortal Kombat 2 improved in every aspect from the Midway classic. We run through the fighting games development, backstory, the new characters (Baraka, Jax and Kitana) and our views on one of the best games ever made.

Do we cover Mortal Kombat too much? Probably. But we love it so we'll keep on doing it mwahahahahahahahaaaa!

MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT...two was quite the feat on arcade and home ports but how good was/is it? Rob's bringing the pain yet again as the boys wax lyrical about the game some say is even better than Street Fighter 2! Well, I don't say it but some do.

Mortal Kombat 2 took all that was great about the first game and ramped it up to eleven. With new characters, moves and cool concepts, is Mortal Kombat 2 truly the best ever MK game ever made!?

Lots of tales of the game's arcade birth and upgrades, the home ports, some juicy trivia and the team shouting a lot. What more could you ask for?

And for dessert go check out our John Tobias interview, MK1 pod and MK films pod xxx

Ben Drowned, the Creepypasta story inspired by a haunted Zelda: Majora's Mask cartridge was a big hit among gamers and storytellers.

He chats to Adrian about the story, its inspiration and plans for the future as well as much more gaming podcast gold.   Links: https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/alex-hall-ben-drowned/ https://www.youtube.com/jadusable

The much-hyped Evercade dropped earlier this year and appears to have been a commercial success but is the thing any good? Nathan's sent us a unit to review which Adrian promptly bought off him (bit of a clue how this is gonna go there). James joins us in Keith's absence for a chat about said item and also the worth of physical media in this day and age.

No spoilers (as usual) but we can divulge that we've brought in our resident 'Master System' specialist to make up the numbers and mix it up. Please welcome our good bud James to the podcast! Rob takes up hosting responsibilities for this one.

Ten scary gaming myths and urban legends that rocked the gaming world.

We look at how the E.T. Atari 2600 game almost destroyed an industry and was dumped in a landfill. Can you play as Rebecca in Resident Evil 2? Did Killswitch, a game that uninstalls itself actually exist? And lots more stories to get your teeth into!

*Warning - this podcast contains adult themes (LOL) so it's up to you to shield your offspring or those of a sensitive disposition. Or let them loose on the madness!*

Adult theme jokes aside we're back! With another gaming myths podcast! I'd like to say it's because the first one went so well but it's due to the fact that Adrian found too many to fit in one! Ha ha!

This week we tackle myths concerning games uninstalling themselves, a certain Final Fantasy VIII theory and what actually happened to those "spare" copies of the Atari E.T among many other weird and wacky tales. We also laugh at our own conspiracy theories.

This has been a long (ish) time coming. Covid poses its own problems but it also opens up new opportunities. We invited three of our mates from the other side of the world - ...Since Spacies (Brian); Sega Master Tim (Tim); and The Top Loader (Todd) - to do battle with us over the airwaves. Well, not quite...

The boys join Ade and Dylan for a chat about SEGA, Nintendo, Brian and Tim working for the SEGA Hotline, what collecting means to us, why heart attacks are bad, Aussie slang (we're sure Adrian is NOT a drongo) and a few subjects we always cover on AA. Yeah, you know the ones! So sit back and enjoy a whopping two-hour chat with Australia's finest.

Oh we've a real treat for you SEGA fans this week! SEGA's 'Mr No' Michael Latham, the Eternal Champions creator had a mammoth chat (over two hours) with our Adrian about everything and anything!

We won't spoil the surprise too much but our highlights include Michael covering his time working at Activision (Ghostbusters/Power Drift), meeting (and winning over) Michael Jackson, stopping a buggy Sonic 2 flying out to production, working on many 32X games (three of which were unreleased) and the never-ending battle between SEGA of Japan and SEGA of America. There's even a nice George Lucas story in there!

And here's the previous written Q&A we did with the legend himself.

Did the infamous Polybius arcade game ever exist? Does the Madden curse actually stop footballers in their track? Was the Sonic 3 soundtrack actually written by Michael Jackson? And can you save Aerith's life in Final Fantasy VII?

*Warning - this podcast contains adult themes so the little uns probably shouldn't be present. Or maybe so, it's up to you!*

Oh you'd better believe there's a second volume of this in a few weeks! Adrian has come up with podcast gold to present to you a menagerie of gaming myths (retro and current) to sink your teeth into. Well, for Dyl and Rob to sink their teeth into while pulling funny faces that you can't see because this is an audio-only podcast.

Sonic 3, Polybius, the Madden curse, Aeris' death in FF7 and lots lots more!

Faran Thomason worked across 3 of the largest video game companies of all time; Atari, SEGA and Nintendo. Faran shares some great stories including working on the Atari Jaguar, Mortal Kombat 3 and loads of insight on all 3 companies.

This week's guest may be the only person we've ever interviewed who's worked for Atari, Nintendo and SEGA - the magic three! Faran Thomason kindly gave us some of his time a while ago for a text interview but we simply had to chat to him to get more of those stories out.

Especially a treat for Atari Jaguar fans, Adrian talks to the producer, QA tester and level designer himself about Bubsy, Baldies, Cybermorph and the abandoned Jag version of Mortal Kombat 3 among many other lovely retro gaming stories about all three legendary companies. He also talks about making consoles in China, Black Lives Matter, what the Tramiels were really like and working with the legendary Lance Henriksen. Enjoy!

Why on earth do we do this to ourselves?! Ha ha! It's of course a pleasure every time! This week we tackle the Mortal Kombat Movies... Rob summons every ounce of strength to bring forward this critique of both movies with lots of trivia thrown in for good measure. One of the team is dragged along against his will (guess who) so it's up to the others to convince him they're both worth watching. Or not.

Enjoy our rundown of the top 25 SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis video games ever released. From Sonic 2 to Street Fighter, Gunstar Heroes to Shinobi. Plus a few strange choices to get your blood boiling. We expect nothing less than an almighty ton of vitriol from you and the entire retro gaming community!

Our Amiga Top 25 went so well we thought we'd do it again with our favourite console and without Tim's "lovely and highly complex algorithm", it could have gone better... But kudos to Adrian for coming up with a (tweaked a bit by Dylan, so let's blame him) way of taking Ade's, Rob's, Tim's, Keith's, Faith's, Chris's and Dylan's top 10 MD/Genesis games and compiling this list.

Forgive the long title, I really couldn't think of a way to shorten it, ha ha! We haven't put Chris off since last week so he's back to chat comic book heroes/villains and favourite comic-based video games with us. But not before Rob tells us a bit of comic book history and how they and video games are a match made in heaven.

Enjoy our look at some of the best video games based around our favourite comics. We look at the evolution of some of the best games made, such as Batman to X-Men Arcade and a look at Spiderman on the PS4. Plus a lot more comic book chat.

Comic book films even make an appearance! 80 minutes of comic-based ambrosia, whadda ya waiting for!

Chris McAuley is a Northern Irish born author, comic book and gaming columnist who has now branched out from talking about comics to helping create them. An acclaimed colourist for 2000 AD and Marvel he has worked on flagship titles such as Judge Dredd, Roy of the Rovers and Hulkverines. He now works on the official Stoker Dracula comics.

We thought it's about time we introduced you to our second-newest member (Retro Faith just pips him as the newest), Chris McAuley!

Chris has done a lot of colouring work for Marvel and some of you may have bumped into him at a comic convention or two. His road to working for them and dev house Utomik is quite something! We've dragged him along to chat about his career, comics, games based on comics and how he came into our lives (and boy, does Adrian have a story to tell about that!)

Next week we'll be discussing the history of comic books and their influence on games. We're also chatting about our favourite comic-based movies and games so be sure not to miss that one!

Double Dragon the Movie is a 1994 martial arts family film based on the beat-em up series of the same name. Starring Mark Dacascos and Scott Wolf as brothers Jimmy and Billy Lee, along with Alyssa Milano (Commando) as Marian Delario and Robert Patrick (Terminator 2 fame) as antagonist Koga Shuko. Double Dragon gets the Arcade Attack movie review treatment.

The things we do for you lot! We've all had a lovely watch of the Double Dragon movie thanks to someone tweeting us at Christmas to do it (as part of our Secret Santa reveal, of course). Rob was gifted said movie so here he is after many weeks of painstaking research, withered and worn, to give his take on Billy & jimmy's excellent adventure. Spinach, anyone?

Stylishly late to the party as ever, here's our take on Resident Evil 3 old and new. 

Keith (who else) guides us through the PlayStation original and what he (re)makes of 2020's effort. And we try not to draw parallels between Jill's fight in Raccoon City and current events. Try.

Warning: This pod contains adult themes, adult language and not our usual lovely selves (mostly our lovely selves).

It's the moment you've been waiting for! Indeed, Rob throws everything he's got into supporting Streets of Rage 3 much to Dylan's disgust (he'll blame it on the beer, we'd probably say Dyl was just being an ass, ha ha!)

The gang turn to Adrian to guide the discussion about Remake, which none of them have played. Adrian's sound difficulties also provide some much needed comic relief.

And finally we discuss the game we've been waiting 24 years for confirmation of. One thing we cannot confirm is that Dyl doesn't work for Microsoft. You'll see what we mean...

The first of our Streets of Rage double bill features the seminal Streets of Rage and its bigger, badder sequel. You'll have to wait until next week for Dyl and Rob's bickering about SOR3, Ade's take on SOR Remake, and what Dyl makes of SOR4 (as no one else could be bothered to play it!)

Just another brawler? Just another Final Fight clone? The Streets of Rage series brought a few more things to the table. The gang try to decipher it all under Keith's careful supervision (SOR1) and Dyl's not-so-careful supervision (for the SOR2 bit).

So strap yourselves in for another pun-filled/jibes-aplenty/slightly-more-research-than-Wikipedia/remote AA podcast...

Eric Chahi created the Amiga classic Another World (Out of This World), Future Wars, Heart of Darkness and Paper Beast. In this interview Éric looks at how he developed one of the most iconic games of all time and what inspires him to make such original video games.

Adrian loves Another World. Hell, all of us (except Rob, grrrr) do! And he's shown that persistence pays off. After months of harassment - I mean, er, nice messages - the legendary Eric Chahi finally agreed to a chat. Certainly one for all you Amiga aficionados!

A few of you may have noticed that our Tim has been releasing vids counting down our favourite Amiga games. Spoiler alert: they're all here! We chat to Tim about how this came about, his crazy algorithm times our individual choices, and voila! An AA Top 25! We also get to know a little bit more about the man himself!

How innovative was the Nintendo Wii!? Everyone seemed to own one and play Wii Sports. Why was this Nintendo console so popular? Plus, why was the Wii U such a failure? Enjoy our chat about both of these divisive game consoles.

So here is the last of our pre-coviddy lockdown backlog podcasts and it's quite apt that we discuss the console that really brought people together. Even your grandparents.

Nintendo struck gold with their motion-driven console, the Wii. But why was it so popular? We (wii?) discuss our favourite Wii moments as well as some of the console's key titles. We also question whether the thing is really retro at all and Adrian puts up a solid (sort of) defence of the Wii-U.

Resident Evil 2 candles that smell of rotting flesh, Royal Mail stamps based on the UK's most popular video games such as Worms and Sensible Soccer and a blue Sonic curry! We cover all these and lots more in our rundown of some of the craziest gaming merchandise ever released.

Don't worry, this one (and next week's pod) were recorded in a much simpler time. A time when people could hang out in the same room and smell rotting flesh, courtesy of Keith's REmake 2 candle!

Dylan invites the gang to discuss the weird and wacky merchandise available for us retro gaming lovers; Royal Mail's UK-dev gaming tribute and what weird AA merchandise could look like. And in the meantime we've teamed up with the amazing Seven Squared to bring you the official AA tee which you can check out here:

Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto, Shadow of the Beast and Hired Guns. Just some of the classic titles that Mike Dailly worked on. The DMA Design legend shares some great stories and how he helped create two of gaming's most important series!

We did it! We finally got him! The GTA and Lemmings creator has been a friend of ours on social media for many years but he's an incredibly busy man. Our Adrian, ever the sniper (see what I did there), got in and grabbed Mike for an hour-long chat.

Lots of Lemmings, GTA and Amiga goodness among many, many other lovely retro gaming anecdotes.

Is Half Life 2 the best PC FPS ever made? Valve really created a classic with this brilliant sequel. The games development, story and facts are all discussed. Plus we also look at Half-Life: Alyx and Half-Life 3.

Another remote podcast just to keep things ticking over! Adrian gets the boys to chat about the wondrous Half-Life 2, a game so good it's won more awards than I have appendages!

The game's development, critical acclaim, gameplay and plot line (complete with spoilers) all discussed in length. The gang also discuss Half-Life: Alyx and their hopes/wants for Half-Life 3 (yeah, we know we know).

So grab your crowbar and jump on in!

This week, Adrian has a lovely chat with Dr David Doak! David is mostly known for his work with the Rare team that created GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. Dr Doak also went on to create TimeSplitters. Is he the true king of the fps genre?

He talks to Adrian about how this opportunity came about, converting GoldenEye from a rail shooter to a first-person shooter, rubbing shoulders with the stars and creating Timesplitters among many, many other fantastic retro gaming stories.

What are the best multiplayer video games ever made? Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, GoldenEye or even Micro Machines? Well, imagine you are stuck in a bunker with 3 friends and you need 5 games to keep you all from going insane. That is the challenge in our latest podcast.

In bad taste? Probably. But we're here to keep your spirits up as much as you do ours!

The AA boys are trapped in Dylan's underground bunker as the world falls prey to coronavirus, but what do they need to survive?

We've basically rehashed the Desert Island Diskettes episode (sorry Andy) with a multiplayer, coviddy, Norman Reedus twist. Our first ever 'remote' podcast went OK. And you've got Dylan doing an awful Keith impression to boot.

How can you play all your classic SEGA Mega Drive and Nintendo SNES carts? What is the best way to play your gaming back catalogue? We look at the consoles and devices that can bring retro back in all it's glory.

Dylan has a good cathart and talks about a bunch of other alternative retro consoles from his beloved Retro Trio to the Retron 5 and handheld options.

We try out and review the Mega SG in real time, and it’s revealed almost everyone was in a famous band in the early 2000’s. Don't believe me? Have a listen...

Mike Clarke was Psygnosis' trusted sound guru. A lot of their hit titles like the WipEout and Lemmings games were given the gloss they deserved from this man. 

His stories about how the company worked are fascinating but the main flavour is brought by the Walker game that never was. Yes, there was a PS3 Walker game in the pipeline and Mike divulges all. He even let us use music that he created for the game. So, sit back and enjoy.

Back of the box makes its return as Adrian takes us through the creation and gameplay of one of the most (ahem) iconic games on the PS2. No Rob, it ISN’T boring and grey!

What game blew you away the most at first sight? Rob throws his cap to the crowd this week and dives into Sega’s 90’s arcade peak to talk about his choice. Dire Straits get a mention too but don’t worry, it’s brief.

Age of Empires (AoE) is one of the most important video games ever made. The series had sold 15 million units even before the third instalment! Matt Pritchard was a key cog in the Ensemble machine for the first two AoE games, his programming expertise vital in making them what they were. 

Lots of AoE chat and he also touches on his time at Valve and what Half Life 3 could have been (maybe still will be). His humility and refusal to pull any punches makes this a must-listen (well, we would say that).

Sonic the Hedgehog the movie caused controversy even before it was released. SEGA's spikey mascot spins into the big screen and gets the full Arcade Attack treatment. We look at the films development, the story, the actors such as Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik and our overall opinion on the film.

We love you lot so much we've brought next week's podcast forward just so you can hear what we think about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

The first half is a spoiler-free review but the second half contains a LOT of spoilers. Rob introduces the action...

The Bitmap Brothers created some of the best games ever made. From Speedball 2 to Gods, The Chaos Engine to Xenon 2 and Magic Pockets to Z. We give this classic company the tribute it deserves.

Rebellion have recently acquired the back catalogue of The Bitmap Brothers so we thought it fitting to pay the defunct company a tribute. Well, Dylan and Adrian anyway. Yep, it's one of those heart-to-heart episodes you "love" so much!

From Speedball to Chaos Engine, Xenon to Gods, the lads have a good ol' chinwag about the East London dev house with Attitude. They also cover their hopes for what Rebellion will come up with for this IP. A VR Speedball? We can only hope.

And yes, the capital A was totally on purpose.

Wanna hear Dylan's attempt at winging a music podcast? Well, here ya go! Months have passed since Keith's amazing Mega Drive/Genesis Boss music podcast so Dyl took it upon himself to put together his favourite retro gaming tracks for those drives down to the shops.

He talks a bit, you're probably not going to learn much about the games chosen (Lotus 2, SoR 2, SF2, Sonic 3, Devil May Cry etc...) but you will learn how trying to put one of these together can turn retro gaming podcasters insane. Enjoy!

Dylan going bad acapella (SoR 2) here and with Adrian (SF2) here! You have been warned!

Greener pastures await him at Saber Interactive after around 24 years at id. Think you've heard all there is to know about Quake and DOOM? Think again! Tim's truly got his BFG out for this one and we loved it, hope you will too.

You're stuck on a desert island. You somehow have full electricity, a TV and a game console of your choice. Which 5 retro games would you take with you to keep you sane before you are rescued?

Friend of the show Andy came up with a lovely idea for us to rip off a popular Radio 4 segment, we'll leave you to guess the rest ;)

Adrian, Rob and Dylan venture their choices and there's only a bit of Atari Jaguar stuff in there. Kidding, obviously...

Walker was a really popular side-scrolling shooter for the Amiga game, developed by DMA Design. It also had a novel control system and showed off some of the best graphics ever achieved on an Amiga title. So buckle up in your Walker robot and press play!

Do yourself a favour and for the first minute or so crank the volume UP!

Ian Dunlop and Neill Glancy's side-scrolling shooter captured the imagination of our Adrian and Dylan when they were teenagers. It struck such a chord with Adrian that he's structured a whole podcast about it! Also channelling Scott Johnston's supreme mech animations, Raymond Usher's thumping soundtrack and DMA Design's David Jones pulling the strings, it received 80%+ reviews across the board.

The keyboard (or joystick) and mouse combination was revolutionary at the time and made for satisfying action. But was it all a bed of roses? The boys are here to pick it all apart...

Alex Trowers made some true classics while working at Bullfrog. He worked on Syndicate, Magic Carpet, Hi-Octane, Dungeon Keeper 2, PowerMonger and Populous 2. Alex shares some amazing stories while working at one of the most innovative video game companies of the 90's.

I really don't think we've interviewed enough Bullfrog employees so in addition to Sean Cooper and Mark Webley we've now sent Adrian to seek out the legendary Alex Trowers, level designer on awesome games such as: Syndicate; Magic Carpet; Hi-Octane; Populous II and PowerMonger!

How wrong can Arcade Attack be about something? Well, confirming many of yours suspicions, quite a bloody lot, especially as far as the PlayStation Classic is concerned!

Listen to the podcast that was scheduled to come out before the final lineup for the console was announced only for Sony to get the jump on us! We luckily pulled it at the last minute but here it is so you can all have a good laugh as to how wrong we were. Wouldn't you rather our lineup though? ;)

As we face a brand new decade full of the promise of the new we’ve naturally decided to look backwards, at 10 years when retro gaming really staked a claim in the mainstream. Revamps, reissues, tournaments, bars and, of course, the characters that helped cement retro gaming's place in culture.

The American dream turned sour, Max Payne is the outlawed cop hellbent on revenge after the murder of his family. The 3rd person shooter brought many things to the fore so it's only right that Adrian and Dylan enter bullet-time to chew the fat/painkillers to get to the bottom of the original game, its successful sequels and the not-so-great Marky Mark film.

Dylan's done his research (for once!) and takes us through their history, and we find out which classic 2000's punk band was named after an obscure Japanese shoot 'em up.

It's not often we invite an interviewee back for another pod. It's not often the ones we do ask agree! We're big fans of David Craddock's and he's back with a new book titled "Arcade Perfect" detailing arcade games' journeys to the home console including AA favourite's such as Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam.

Adrian chatted to David about the book, their shared love of arcade games and the immense amount of work required to get those classics into your living room.

I mean, the thing only sold 800,000 units but damn was there a lot to enjoy on it. The Genesis/Mega Drive peripheral brought 32-bit power (OK that's debatable) to your home for cheaper than a Saturn. But why? Thanks to a mystery source (listen to the pod to find out who) Adrian now has the hallowed contraption. But what does he make of it and his initial batch of games? Ohhhhhhh here goes!

Rob's done a lot of research, so him, Adrian and Dylan sit down to discuss the game's inception, the weird and wonderful tale of Don Bluth (and his many companies) and what sort of legacy both games have left.

Dan and Ravi join Adrian and Dylan for a lovely gaming discussion covering how they got started, who their favourite guests are, how great the Atari Jaguar/Jag CD is and what awful games they love (time to pay them back for the Rise of the Robots question) as well as much much more.

And there's only a bit of Atari ST bashing. Honest.

The Atari Jaguar CD and SEGA Mega CD were both made to give their consoles a new lease of life. Adrian owns a Jag CD and Dyl own a SEGA CD and decide to continue to chat about these legendary and divisive console add-ons.

Well, the time has come for Dyl and Adrian's final chat about these legendary CD peripherals (mainly because Adrian has run out of Jag CD games). 

This week takes focus on the Jag conversions of Myst and certain quick-time (real-time?) event games whilst Dylan has had a lot of "fun" with Sega's foray into FMV gaming.

We also have a chat about the Jag SD and Mega SD solutions which mean you never need to own a Jag or Mega CD. But why would you do that? ;)

As many of you will know we had quite a big dig at EA a few weeks ago because of their current day practices but it got us thinking, how much do we actually owe them as a company (see what I did there)? We had an off-the-cuff chat about our Electronic Arts memories and dig up more great games than you can shake a stick at.

And, as a treat, long time listener (and newest Arcade Attack writer) Tim Wilson has put together a lovely musical "guess that Electronic Arts" game that you can all play along to at home/the train/the bus stop. Can you guess more than us? Spoiler alert: yes.

Something a bit different today. To mark national poetry day here in the UK Adrian caught up with upcoming poet (who The Sunday Times described as the new Seamus Heaney) Stephen Sexton to talk about his book titled "If All the World and Love Were Young".

Why is this important for retro gamers? The book is a wonderful compilation of poems about Stephen's late mother that mirror the levels in Super Mario World and is receiving critical acclaim across the board. So, get those tissues at the ready and prepare yourself for this lovely chat.

You can buy the book here:

Nevertheless, we introduce our first ever 3DO chat but is Keith happy with his purchase? You'll have to listen to find out and don't worry. plenty of fact and initial opinions there are (and Dylan also saying poohed a lot - sorry, not sorry)! This will not be our last 3DO chat by any means as we need to discuss our thoughts on the many many games Keith got with it. Enjoy!

As we promised last week here is 80 minutes of pure retro gaming gold chat between our Adrian and the MK legend that is John Tobias! How did the Mortal Kombat phenomenon come about? John goes into absolutely everything and the journey on which he and Ed Boon went on to create a game that went toe to toe with Street Fighter 2.

How he got started, working at Apple with Steve Jobs, the glory days at EA, launching the 3DO and what he really thinks about current day EA amongst many other glorious gaming anecdotes, all here and led by our Adrian. Enjoy!

What indeed. Growing up in the 90s anything (well, almost anything) by Electronic Arts was as good as a seal of quality. These days they appear to be a punchbag for the modern and retro gamer but why? We pick apart the whole thing, from loot boxes and the FIFA Ultimate Team thingy to the other fiscal barriers they're putting up to the gamer.

Was it worth it? Or is this ultimately where all gaming is headed? Dylan rouses the team for a rather cathartic experience. Strap in.

A Saturday morning cartoon show featuring some of your favourite video game characters such as Donkey Kong and Mario sounds like a great idea, right? Wrong! Rob tells the tale of Saturday Supercade, spawned in 1983 for CBS, the show attempted to take advantage of the video game boom but missed spectacularly. Think of the scenarios you'd place these characters in, now picture the exact opposite and you've got Saturday Supercade!

This is indeed the Mark Webley, he of Bullfrog, Lionhead Studios (which he co-founded) and Two Point Studios which he's having phenomenal success with Two Point Hospital (Theme Hospital being the first of course). Black & White, the Fable games, the list goes on and on. This is a really fun interview that reflects on an amazing career.

Our Adrian quizzes him about everything and it's a fantastic listen especially as Mark doesn't seem to know how much we appreciate his work.

It's time for episode 2 of our "Lost Games" series (Warcraft Adventures being the first of course) and boy is it a humdinger. You'll need a strong (ish) stomach for Thrill Kill on the original PlayStation, a four player fighting game as gruesome as it is grotesque. 

Adrian delights (maybe a bit too much) in telling the story of a game which our favourite publisher kiboshed for reasons that will soon become clear...

Our Rob is a massive fan (and also damn good at the game) so he literally bit off my finger/jumped at the chance to wax lyrical whilst giving us lots of lovely facts. So let's all jump in and no, you cannot choose to be Oddjob, we're deadly serious...

Late last year we asked for podcast suggestions and this week's comes courtesy of listener and friend of the show Dan Driver. What kind of legacy do gaming consoles/microcomputers leave and which ones will really stand the test of time out of the current crop? Lacking any kind of structure but hopefully lots of listening pleasure.

The episode also marks the inception of the Legacy Bucket, which is totally our idea not to be stolen (I'm looking at you Waffling Taylors ;))

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) came into our lives in 2000 and life has never been the same. The highest selling console of all time is arguably the most loved, but why?

The gang (including the return of AA's prodigal son...) celebrate the life of Sony's second console now that the closure of the last online servers means it is officially dead. But is it? Are you even listening to this podcast? What is the meaning of life? PS2?

The Origin Systems legend had a chat with our Adrian about the many, many games he has developed. Directing Ultima Online and being QA lead for the revolutionary BioForge are just two of his countless achievements. Named regularly as one of the most influential figures in the MMO scene there's not much this guy doesn't know. Was an honour to have him on the show. Enjoy.

How amazing was the SEGA Master System?!

We've mentioned it in passing on many other podcasts but SEGA's first successful console has never gotten an AA outing, until now! We've pretty much done the Game Boy episode again but with a different console! Lots of stories, lots of facts, and a shout out to all babysitters who own(ed) Master Systems (you'll see what we mean).

We've set about resolving a lot of things this year at Arcade Attack and this one has been on the redemption list for quite a while... The world's most beloved handheld console (Nintendo Game Boy) has never featured on an AA podcast, until now! Adrian, Dylan and a long lost friend/former AA podcaster drink and get merry whilst telling tales of the fabled console. But beware, not all of them are happy...

An instantly recognisable face for our UK-based listeners, maybe even our British listeners abroad, TV and radio celebrity Iain Lee is also a massive retro gaming fan! He spoke to our Adrian about his major gaming loves (namely the Saturn and the Dreamcast), what happened with his TV career, working with the likes of Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen, his new home on talk radio and what he really thinks of his "co-stars" on I'm A Celebrity. He also has porn recommendations for cowards so this one is probably not safe for listening to when the kids are in the car...

A lot is owed to Origin Systems's BioForge, a weird and wonderful tale of a man turned into a cyborg seemingly against his will. It pioneered a lot of techniques used in subsequent mid-90s console gaming and is well worthy of a look. Adrian tells us all, thankfully without beating us with our own limbs (you'll see what I mean...)

DISCLAIMER: In no way, shape or form does this podcast do the awesomeness that is DOOM any justice, but we love it, so we'll talk about it. To say it took the FPS genre to another level is an understatement, id's monster is adored by millions.

We discuss the synthesis of the original DOOM, what it meant to us and the controversies that followed it. We also take a quick look at all the titles up to DOOM Vfr. So grab your BFG and join us in hell...

Éric Chahi's masterpiece needs little introduction. Another World (or Out of This World in the US) is considered by many to be the first true cinematic gaming experience not relying solely on FMV. Adrian tells the gang all about the development's ups and downs as well as some of the key moments of the game itself. Dylan then offers his less-than-complimentary opinion on its sequel Heart of the Alien, whilst Rob finds himself constantly infuriated by alien slug death. There's something here for everyone!

Our chat about Street Fighter The Movie went down so well we thought we'd put ourselves through similar "torture" again for your listening pleasure. Rob had never seen Super Mario Bros. The Movie before last month, sixteen years of ignorant bliss, all down the drain... He goes through his findings whilst we all pile in to discuss what could have been a great homage to a great series of games but instead turned out to be a bit of a mess.

Whether it's a glossy finish (remaster) or your favourite game built from the ground up (remake) it's safe to say that this process has extended the lives of many a retro franchise. The Resident Evil 2 remake has put remakes and remasters back into the spotlight. We have a good chat about our favourites and not-so-favourites whilst trying to work out whether they're a good thing or not. Cash cow or homage? Our opinions plus lots of your opinions from a tweet we released the other day makes for a very interesting/argumenty chat indeed.

Errrrr, OK, Top Gun has hardly had its fair share of games that do amazing films justice but exactly how many bad games are we talking about? Moby Games has it at 11 and we try to go through as many as possible without vomiting (from motion sickness of course...) but it's really all just a ruse to play some Kenny Loggins.

A few years ago I (Dylan) had the pleasure of talking to the ex CEO of SEGA of America, the legendary Tom Kalinske, an interview that I duly transcribed and which you can read at the link below. The podcast has since taken off and we thought that it would be good to share the audio with you all. I was extremely nervous but trust me, Tom's ability to tell a story (mostly centred around bringing life to Sonic and going toe-to-toe with Nintendo in their prime) carries the podcast and ensures a great listen (when the sound doesn't cut out - oops!)

To say Crazy Taxi is an Arcade Attack favourite is a bit of an understatement. It wowed at the arcades, it wowed on home consoles, its legacy is felt in many other franchises to this day. Rob takes the reins for this one so get ready for lots of facts and lots of gushing from all of us (sorry in advance).

The often overlooked Knights of the Round is a game worthy of anyone's attention. Whilst it may look like a standard arcade scrolling beat em up it has more than a few hidden gems. Why was it overlooked? We'll let Adrian set the scene for this wonderfully Japanese take on British medieval times...

We've cheated slightly, these are of course all MS-DOS games as well but Dylan thinks that all three deserve a remake nevertheless. Why?

The case is different for each game: Beneath a Steel Sky was the critically acclaimed title with a sad epilogue; Universe did away with gravity and DreamWeb was pure bats##t crazy and mainly known for a show of pixellated genetalia.

The tales of all three are told but has Dylan done enough to convince you of their remake merit? Let us know.

Strong language warning! Gamasutra/Jesus Fabre had the number at around 250 but we've heard elsewhere that the legendary Barry Leitch has done over 400 (let that sink in) game soundtracks. He kindly gave up some of his free time to have this fascinating chat with our Adrian. We're not worthy!!!

A franchise that's delighted us over the years has seemingly come to an end but questions need to be asked about the latter titles. Dylan is asking these questions because he needs to cathart and cathart hard.

The whole series is discussed including the ill-fated Silent Hills and with more than a few home truths for Konami...

Do you feel the Amiga deserves more respect in the gaming industry?

Continuing our theme of letting our guys do whatever the hell they want, we've let Keith share with you his love of gaming music once more in what we hope will become a regular series. This time he goes through his favourite Mega Drive/Genesis boss themes and it is a cracker. Some you will have heard, and some you won't.

Has he nailed it? Has he missed some of your faves? Is this worth doing again? (we think so!) Contact us at the usual place and let us know!

Black Mirror's Bandersnatch has taken the retro gaming community by storm but to say it's divided opinion amongst critics is an understatement. We discuss Stefan's story with spoilers galore; the inspiration for the episode (Choose Your Own Adventure books); and the importance of being able to choose your own destiny in video games. We also discuss Adrian's chat with Choose Your Own Adventure creator Edward Packard (which you can read in full here) which may or may not have led to Netflix being sued for improper use of the IP.

To release a game, or to not release a game? That is the question. Well, certainly for Blizzard back in the mid-nineties. Their foray into the adventure genre didn't exactly go to plan. The idea, to expand more on the Warcraft universe, was a good one. The game's formulation was not. Adrian is here to tell Rob and Dylan all about this fascinating story that transcended the globe. What do you mean Russia and Korea can't work together???
