Some (but not all) of the games that were most important to me, over the years. #My9Games #私を構成する9つのゲーム my9games.com/s/9b7efc9c00...

Up mega early, accidentally doing 7 miles rather than 3 all because I was listening to tales of smackwhacking and the Congo Bongo Files and didn’t want to stop… it can only be the latest edition of @videowizardspod.bsky.social So good to be hearing this again 🤘

Opening Up 'G-Darius' PlayStation

Typical. The first 2026 video game release I’m adding to my collection is a reissue of a 1993 port of a 1986 arcade game. Slap Fight MD is notable for its arrange mode featuring a @yuzokoshiro.bsky.social OST. We also covered the arcade game in the 1st year of @videowizardspod.bsky.social.

New podcast: Time Crisis The Cane and Rinse podcast returns for its fifteen year with its first ever lightgun game coverage. We crouch into cover and give Time Crisis the once-over. Leon, Chris W, Karl and Tony are ready for ACTION! Available now from podcast feeders, Spotify, YouTube...

Episode 32 is sloooowly coming together. But who doesn't love a bit of good natured and sometimes even insightful chat about classic arcade games such as Mappy, Mario Bros., Gyruss, Star Wars and... Krull?

The first half of the long awaited Video Wizards episode 32 is done! Patreon subscribers can already tune into 4 and a half hours of animated talk and sounds of the arcade games and news of 1983's springtime season. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

It was such a cool thing for me to have @jazrignall.bsky.social on here. Mean Machines and CVG were my introductions to proper video game critique and analysis and he and his fellow editors helped shape my tastes. Oh yeah, Defender is pretty awesome as well. 😁

One of the best games ever made

Just checking through the upcoming games for the mean machines audit and oh boy the @videowizardspod.bsky.social massive should be looking forward for episode 200

The Outfoxies Another unported masterpiece that I love. It's quite short & not too tricky to learn, so anyone can learn it with a bit of effort. I'd say it's an acquired taste but everyone seems to love it too, so good Also a blast in 2P mode Many thought it would never get a port but here we are

This Wednesday, our shmup Schildmaid MX is finally arriving on all major current consoles! To celebrate & pay homage to the games that inspired us, we'll be live streaming from perhaps the largest arcade on mainland Western Europe. Join us on November 26 from 3PM GMT+1 at twitch.tv/mkstayontarget.

It’s been getting a bit @videowizardspod.bsky.social in the Discord

M.I.A.: Missing in Action (1989)

Only 3 warps? Shouldn't be so hard to reach.

Finally a Lego minifig of the... IMPERIAL DIGNITARY @videowizardspod.bsky.social

Ben and Michiel have recorded the first hour of episode 32. Tomorrow, they'll start discussing the arcade games of spring '83. Do you have things to say about Mappy, Congo Bongo, Gyruss or Atari's Star Wars? Write us at videowizardspod at gmail!

@mkstayontarget.bsky.social @onecreditclassics.bsky.social I know you were taking about Lee Van Cleef but I'm taking "Everyone favourite cowboy turned half blind ninja" as my social media tag line now

In this Patreon podcast, Ben & Michiel read and react to the e-mails that did not make the cut of the main show, making for a wild grab bag of topics to go over... from the Care Bears movie to the life and times of Noel Gallagher's favorite dinosaur. www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

Treasures. No, these are really good, though. 😅

Next week, Ben & Michiel are recording episode 32, about '83's spring season! Got memories of #arcadegames like Mario Bros., Mappy or Atari's #starwars? Films like Blue Thunder & Return of the Jedi? The music and TV of the time? Mail us at videowizardspod at gmail!

40 years ago I was busy reviewing this bunch of joysticks. The Competition Pro was the one to buy, of course, but the Euromax Arcade was a very comfortable and excellent all-round alternative (although the Turbo version's top fire button was pretty useless TBH).

I made a quick video of my game room. Nothing fancy. More or less a time capsule of a great day. 😊 Thanks for looking youtu.be/4A5xtohkKwM @ArcadePosting #arcade #retrogaming #shmups #egretII #videogames #gamecenter #vewlix #dodonpachi

Proud to say I served as service technician for many of the cabinets and machines on display at SEGA's K1speed takeover for #SDCC! I've been working with 100 Yen Life for months on this, really honored to have been a part of it! 🙂

It was tough to get this one out for a variety of reasons (one that is disclosed near the end of the pod), but it's here and I am very happy that it is. Hope you enjoy!

This was an undertaking, but #videowizardsep31 is out! We got you covered for 8 hours of talk and sounds of the #arcadegames (Double Dragon II, Gain Ground, etc.), home games, pop music, metal, hiphop, movies (The Naked Gun) and TV of '88/'89's winter season. videowizardspodcast.com/2025/07/25/v...

youtu.be/gfS8NfZFaKM?... It's that time already...

@videowizardspod.bsky.social chuckling away hearing you repeatedly mention Rush’n Attack by name then get circumspect talking about where it’s set 😆

Out now on our Patreon, it's part 2/2 of #videowizardsep31, all about the Winter of '88 - '89. The rest of the world will get to savour these new nostalgic audio delights later this week. www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

Our #arcadegames focused time capsule podcast has become too big for a single Patreon post and we had to cut our early releases in half. And since the first half is already completely edited, subscribers can now listen to it! #gainground #doubledragon #wonderboy www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

Who Did What At Irem: A (Semi-)Comprehensive Thread Today, we're going to be doing a deepdive on one of the premier arcade giants of the 1980's. We're all familiar with enduring classics such as R-Type and In The Hunt, but who were the talented men & women that created them?

These are 4 of the STGs (other than our own) I've spent the most time with and/or cleared, with honorable mentions to Parodius Da, Radiant Silvergun, UN Squadron, Deathsmiles I & II, Terra Flame, Devil Blade Reboot, Dead End City and DoDonPachi. Which #shmups do you have the most experience with?

Cotton Reboot is so good! And Metal black is a unique beast in so many ways. We covered it in our most recent @videowizardspod.bsky.social podcast!

Last year when I was in Tokyo, my friend @penpe.net gifted me a mysterious Japan-only #playstation 1 game that he had worked on. Out now for everyone, it's the @caneandrinse.com podcast I was allowed to host about it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing Segare Ijiri and talking about it. 😊

It's probably not happening before season 2 at the earliest... but I still hold out hope that Duck King will appear in City of the Wolves.

We discovered the transcript feature of Apple's #podcast app. #arcadegames #retrogaming #retrospective #80s #90s

This is a story all about how/ His life got flipped, turned upside down

Out now on our Patreon, it's our next Lore Expansion Pack, delving deeper into the rise and fall of the man behind the flippo/tazos craze of the mid 90s! You're not ready for this. www.patreon.com/posts/video-...

@videowizardspod.bsky.social a bargain for a classic by your good friends

fanart of the game Clockwork Aquario it's made by the Wonder Boy/Monster World devs and just like those games it's extremely my style. i recommend it!!
