It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Episode 40 and we feature ‘Strider ’ by Capcom (1989)

We fly in to England on our futuristic Strider Kite and pick up Mentski in the UK for our last episode of the year.

Will Strider bring us great conversions to review for Christmas or will they end up in the pile of unwanted gifts with Aunties socks? - it’s Christmas so who really cares!!!!

I’m sure Tiertex, one of the key companies responsible for Strider’s conversions may end up on Santa’s naughty list!

A huge thank you to everyone who has been a guest during 2019 including - Mentski (UK) , Paul McCaskie (UK), Aaron Clement (Tasmania) , Evan Weston (Sydney, Australia) , Mark Cassar (Vic,Australia) , Rich Yaxley (UK), Greg Pell (Vic,Australia), Marc Bell (Sydney, Australia) , Dave Muscat (Vic,Australia), David Alexander (Canada), Matts (Sweden) , Kingy (Scotland), Mark Smith(Japan), Bazza H (UK).

The Mad Gear gang have called up the Arcade Perfect Podcast team and have made their demands ..... “Review all of the conversions of Final Fight or Matt Jessica Cawley will have to play the C64 version for the rest of his life” This is serious!!! No real friend would put Matt through that So the team take on the challenge ! Do the 16 bit versions reign supreme of is there a 8-bit gem to be uncovered? Download now or the Mad Gear gang will never let Matt be free to Podcast again!!

It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Ep 58 and its time to enter the super computer and do battle in SEGA’s Gain Ground. Daz loves this game and speaks highly of it, Taggsta on the other hand thinks the best thing about this game is the music. Are they all Golden Turds or does Daz change Taggsta’s mind by the end of the episode.

Let’s enter the Gain Ground and find out.

It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Episode 26 and this one is all about Wonderboy in Monster Land, Daz’s favourite game of all time!

Daz and Taggsta put on their nappies (Diapers for our US listeners) and grab their swords and shields in an attempt to deflect and battle against the evil ports that should be banished from Monster Land.

It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Episode 39 and the feature game ‘Flying Shark’ by Toaplan (1987)

Buckle up, as we put on our Biggles goggles and take flight in the Bi-Plane ‘Flying Shark’ and travel to England for our special guest Paul McCaskie [Host and creator of the ‘Game Music Gaiden Podcast’]

With memorable music and timeless graphics we talk about the our experiences of the arcade and ports growing up and revisit them today to see how they hold up.

Which versions prepare for a soft landing and victory and which get shot down into the cesspit of golden poop that they deserve?

It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Ep 55 and we mix it up with the first episode of a two part series covering the A to Z of Daz and Taggsta’s Arcade picks. Not just any old arcade games and not our favourites either, it’s the A to Z of games that we think don’t get the attention they deserve, the underdogs, the less popular games that we feel deserve some love and attention.

It’s the Arcade Perfect Podcast Ep 56 and it’s part 2 of our A to Z of arcade games that don’t receive the attention they deserve, the underdogs, the less popular games that we feel deserve some love and attention. Taggsta actually gets the alphabet correct and Daz really isn’t a fan of Taggsta’s choice for ‘M’. Listeners, what do you think of Mutant Night? It’s a classic right? 😂

It’s episode 63 of the Arcade Perfect Podcast and it’s time for Daz and Taggster to catch up with Mats from Gears of Games to test out all of the conversions of Capcom’s Black Tiger.  The guys faced lots of Tigers in this episode, black ones with a black background 🙄.

Some really stinky versions here, but one really shined like the Golden Turd should. We flush it out so the listeners never have to play it!

Thanks to Mats at Gears of Games for joining us once again, you sir are top man!
