Coaxial 6: Down The Arcades
Manage episode 189507596 series 1264926
Remember Defender? Chase HQ? Time Crisis? The sound of Charlie Brown's teacher calling out bingo, in a fug of cigarette smoke and the black and red uniforms of the Nobles Amusements cash girls?
Or the feeling of putting too much money into a machine and having to leave credits behind? We do. All of this, and more. This week's Coaxial is a fond memory, a look back at the halcyon days of the British arcades, a feast of (now) retro gaming, sticky carpets, and broken joysticks.
Join Christian Cawley and Gareth Kavanagh for their reminiscences of visiting arcades in the 1980s, 90s, and now.
