Penny Pushers & Other Horrors - This Week In Retro 266

About this episode

Lee returns to discuss retro gaming events and charity efforts while the team covers arcade news and game revivals.

If you find joy in making or fixing, you're already a kindred spirit with our return guest Lee of the More Fun Making It and More Fun Fixing It YouTube channels. Lee shares tales of his latest retro event visits and upcoming charity effort (a custom throwback game console could be yours!) before we take on the top stories. The team takes on the state of the traditional arcade, the revival of an early 1990s horror classic, and a new-old multiplayer racing game. Plus news from Commodore, Sega, and much more.
