Tommy Tallarico - Interview - VGM Legend: Earthworm Jim, Aladdin & The Terminator

He's true gaming royalty and has worked on over 300 video games since the 90s which is quite frankly staggering! The Virgin Games back catalogue that introduced us to gaming (Terminator, Aladdin, Cool Spot etc...) had his name written all over it. And who could forget his work on Earthworm Jim! It's a pleasure to introduce Adrian's interview with Tommy Tallarico...

Theme Park (Bullfrog)

Sincere apologies for the sound quality - something went a bit wrong with the file export! Rob tells a tale of a game that gave the player far too much power. Spike the fries, refuse to build any toilets, the choice is yours as you create your own Theme Park...

Controversial Gaming Opinions

Have we gone mad? Rob thought it best to prise our most "controversial" gaming opinions out so we can all have a massive argument, er, I mean debate. Zool cooler than Sonic? Keith hates Mario (well, not quite, but...) and Dylan has a massive chip on his shoulder about current gen gaming (there's a surprise). All this and more in a quite barmy episode. Hopefully everyone's still in one piece in time for next week (for our 50th pod special, don't miss it, it's a cracker!).

Weird Dreams (Amiga)

To say Weird Dreams is weird is an understatement. Adrian tells us more about this hidden gem that quite frankly we all want to have a go on now! Giant wasps, bushes with teeth and little girls with steak knives are all in store for the AA crew as we take a closer look...

Devil May Cry - Establishing a Genre

We thought we'd kick off the new year with a bang! Dylan takes the AA crew down memory lane and a franchise often put to the back of the games drawer. Needless to say, DMC brought new meaning to the word "cool". The PS2 games (1-3) feature heavily, along with our thoughts for the future of the franchise.

The Simpsons Arcade Game - The Best Side-Scrolling Beat-Em Up?!

Seeing as we're called Arcade Attack we thought it best to actually talk about an arcade game, nay, possibly the best multiplayer arcade game ever! There's no possiblies as far as Rob is concerned, so hear him orchestrate a discussion of the game's finer points and whether there'd be scope to bring it back...

NBA Jam vs White Men Can't Jump

Are we serious? Yes, we're serious. NBA Jam is up against the Atari-Jaguar-only White Men Can't Jump, a game so loosely based on the film it hurts, in this week's face-off! We also mither how a NBA Jam movie would turn out. Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes are nowhere to be seen, which is probably for the best...

Movies That Should Have Had Games? Feat. Commando, They Live & The Truman Show

A slightly different podcast for you this week. The AA crew discuss films that should really have licenced games made about them. Ranging from Commando to The Truman Show, the gang explain how they would have made them into retro games using 90s tech. With some curveballs thrown in (thanks a lot Adrian!) it all gets a bit silly. But we like silly.

Has Road Rash Redeemed Itself?

Road Redemption is finally fit for public consumption! So Dylan thought it'd be a great idea to talk the AA crew through the ups and downs of the Road Rash franchise and whether the ultimate lows have been redeemed by the fan game. We think EA might owe the boys and gals down at Pixel Dash a pint or two...
