One of us is well versed in Thundercade. A shmup. A very good shmup. The best shmup. I don’t know of a better shmup, do you? I mean, really. It’s a shmup. God save the shmup. The other has been away. A long way away. Probably a lot of miles. To the best place. Have you seen the donuts over there? I like donuts. Who doesn’t? God save the donuts. What were we doing again?

Ten Pence Arcade Podcast V2.0 ·

2024/07/24

Singing, dancing, impressions, the medium of higher thinking – you name it, we don’t cover any of it in this podcast. Cool arcade stuff, what we’ve been playing and a review of some bobbins game IS what we do this time. Oh yes. We ask ourselves is “Mega Twins” just a cheesey euphamism for a lady’s bosoms? and remember… ALL CUSTARDS ARE GOOD CUSTARDS

‘Cor blimey guv’nor – it’s old Nick ‘imself chuckin’ dahn lightning bolts and thems gargoyleys lobbing unearthly stuff at’cha!Listen to the podcast to see what the above actually means! A hellish game to review – do the Ten Pencers get posessed?

Some poor unfortunate from ‘Down Under’ gets an 1800s battering from the Victorian insulters.
