    Great podcast!

  • Birdmanfx
    LOVE!
    Every episode is absolutely epic. Love it all!
  • Kai.mp4
    Love it lol
    Amazing!
  • Khelvins
    Please stop
    Advertising in every retro gaming related Reddit group. It’s annoying
  • e-q
    Fun show, great interviews
    Always a good listen, i hope I can play some classic games with the hosts someday on some new fangled version of HEAT.
  • titfos
    Retro gaming's best podcast
    Arcade Attack is the most listen for fans of retro gaming. Great chemistry between the hosts and a true dedication to documenting our shared love of retro gaming.
  • Mat2magic
    Awesome Show!
    Awesome show! One of the best!
  • TiredOnReddit
    These dudes spam unrelated subreddits with this podcast
    I keep seeing this podcast on reddit because they keep spamming their links in every video game related subreddit. Please stop.
  • SuperGeko
    Excellent show!
    Just wondering if they can do an episode in American accents so I can understand it all
  • Tempusfugitive-OnApple
    Awesome podcast
    Love this podcast because you get to feel like they put down the ladder for you and let you into their clubhouse. They clearly love games and I enjoy their banter. I think their interviews are great, minus just one. This guy with my same name keeps coming up on their podcast and man did he just go on and on in his interview. Hey guy with my same name people have a life to live. If I ever figure out how to get in contact with this guy I'm going to tell him off and say stop making it so they say our same name on the podcast from time to time. Beyond that it's a must listen for me and I suggest if you love gaming you give it a try.
  • chaaruzuu
    One of two podcasts that keep my attention
    As a fan of retro gaming, ive tried a few podcasts that focus on the topic as a means to quench my thirst for gaming discussions. Non had stuck UNTIL listening to arcade attack. The topics selected, structure of episodes, and the general vibe of people having a good time talking about things they enjoy while informing you about it was a combo that has kept me entertained for over a year. Strongly recommend a listen if you are into retro gaming or gaming in general. My personal favorite of the year is the streets of rage/bare knuckles series
  • Bellinater
    Listened to the interview with Faran Thomason
    First of all, as someone who loves old school video games, this was a really great interview. But what I really want to say is thanks to the host for asking Faran about race at the end. Throughout the interview, I had just assumed he was white in my mental picture of things. I think pursuing that kind of enquiry, even in conversations that aren’t supposed to be political, is one of the ways we can break through on this issue. Another is having great role models like Thomason to look to.
  • Chipper3599$

    Honestly, no complaints on this show. Well produced and EXCELLENT discussion.
  • STSHPod

    I think this podcast is great for all gaming lovers. I loved the interview with creator of Froggie
  • OleTeddyTwoToes
    This is the pod for me!
    I laughed so hard when you guys said that if you looked up can of whoopass, youd see a killer instinct combo! C-C-C-COMBOOOOOOO. Yall are great, and i cant wait to listen to more. Talking about these retro games takes me back, and its just like all my friends are with me at work, culling my boredom. Please keep it up!
  • itsjustnikia
    Never miss a beat
    If you’re wanting to stay connected & I mean completely connected to anything gaming. This is the only place to be.
  • Beaglenation
    Fun show!
    I love the banter between the hosts, and they genuinely love what they do. This is a great show for those who love gaming.
  • braindeaddrama
    A walk down memory lane
    They cover some great games I forgot about in-depth, it’s great
  • Rbolly
    Fun and informative
    Though I am not a gamer, I adore things like AVGN on Youtube, so finding a fun podcast that gets more in-depth on early games/gaming was a delight. The hosts also have fantastic voices, which is a must for any repeat listen.
  • Ajh2468
    Great for even non-gamers
    We're not gamers but we find this podcast to be really entertaining and informative.
  • Eric Hunley
    Brings back fond memories
    I really enjoy this show and the chemistry between the hosts. I am honestly confused by the complexity of modern games and enjoy the hosts bantering about the classics like Zelda. It's a fun show to chill out with on the weekend.
  • Ikerus
    Great gaming podcast
    Lots of gaming podcast out there, but you have to check this one out. I do love the retro aspect to make all the forgotten memories come flooding back in. The hosts are charming and fun. Also British accents are the best.
  • HiddenSmarts
    Nostalgic
    I remember I used to spend ALOT of time playing arcade games growing up. Listening to this podcast talk about some of my favorite arcade games really make me feel nostalgic. Looking forward to more content from this bunch.

    Nostalgia to the max!
    I had forgotten about so many of these games! Just hearing them brings back so many wonderful memories. Keep 'em coming!
  • IBTFYlindsay
    Nostalgic treat
    Enjoyed going down the rabbit hole with this podcast about retro games. Strikes a good balance between nostalgia and thoughtful reexamination, and is accessible enough that more casual gamers can still enjoy it, which is often a barrier to entry with gaming podcasts.
  • swgrahm
    Nice arcade game breakdown
    Thoroughly enjoyed the exchange of the breakdown of game titles and the deep dive of the concept of the discussed games...dug the game storyline discussions
  • G to The Next Level
    Great trips down my gaming memory lane
