The Electric Circus

It's hard to believe, that 50 years have gone by since the opening of Walt Disney World. I was five years old, and remember getting a Walt Disney World mini comic book on a trip from Florida to Connecticut that year. I was always fascinated by it. And now, on this 50th anniversary, I thought it would be fun to go back and talk about Josh's, Danny's, and my memories working and playing there. So Arcaders- stay seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the podcast at all times! We hope you enjoy this ride through- Our Walt Disney world Memories!

In the pantheon of all arcade games- few can hold the title of a game that defined a genre of gaming- before there was a word for it. As Pac- Man did the year before for the maze chase- Donkey Kong defined the platformer. The game also defined a companies direction, and the game's protagonist- Jumpman-  became Mario, and would lead the fledgling video game company to so much success for decades to come. And now, at the 40th anniversary, I thought it would be fun to talk about our favorite Donkey Kong memories! when did we first see the original game (or any of it's sequels or ports) and what was our favorite? Listen to find out! What is your favorite Donkey Kong memory? let us know in the comments!

Keep Playin' Like It's 1981! 

Hey Arcaders!

Raygunn here! The 1980’s will never go away- especially when streaming services, movie studios, and television networks keep releasing reboots and sequels of our favorite TV shows and movies from our youth. For better or worse, these media nuggets exist for us to devour (or get sick on– viewer’s choice.) The latest offerings are here for us to check out- Masters Of The Universe- Revelation five part series on Netflix, and The Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer- movie due out in the fall!  And I decided to watch…

What did I think? click on play and find out!!!

Who hasn't walked into an arcade to see that cool dual gun game that's everyone has to try- or liked so much, that's all they want to play? There's a particular genre of gun game we ALL love- the Rail Shooter! I think that in its most pure form- we are only allowed to see what the designer wants us to see-like a classic dark ride- and that attracts us all to these awesome games! Josh, Danny, and I sat down to talk about some of our favorites! There are so many to choose from- we may have to visit this part of the arcade again!

So- What's you favorite rail shooter? let us know in the comments!

Keep Playin' Like it's 1981!
