This is it. This is when Adrian finally has a breakdown! His dear mum is now a published author and we couldn't be more proud. But, it's a tad saucy. Have a little taster of a series exclusive to our Patreon backers. I'll say nothing more.
You can buy Sheila Allen's 'Sheila's Little Black Book' on Amazon.

We don't capitalise much but the latest Sound Test effort from our Keith certainly deserves it - Amiga POWER!
Dylan stole some of the more well-known tracks for his driving mix in 2020 but Keith didn't need to dig deep to find some absolute beauties. From Alien Breed to Turrican 2, from Brimble to Huelsbeck, it's all here in lovely Amiga stereo-quality goodness.
So put your feet up and relax to almost two hours of Amiga POWER!

Howard Scott Warshaw left an undeniable mark on the video game industry! After creating the amazing Yars' Revenge for the Atari 2600, it seemed Howard would become one of the true pioneers of the video game industry... In fact, he would almost single handily go on to to destroy the industry with the release of E.T.
Howard shares some amazing stories in his short-lived but hugely influential career in gaming. He gives some truly honest and revealing answers on how one man was blamed for almost grinding the video game industry to a halt.
Howard also reflects on his amazing new book; Once Upon Atari: How I made history by killing an industry.

The creator of Eternal Champions was a friend and (amazingly) a fan of the show. His passing at such a young age came as a shock to us all. We wanted to pay tribute to an amazing man so here's a little bit of AA discussion followed by some lovely interviews Adrian had with Michael's closest friends and ex colleagues.

What are the best N64 games to hit the market? Mario Kart, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye or even Resident Evil 2? Well, buckle up for our definitive list...
Laugh at us once more as we come up with a "definitive" console Top 25 using strange algorithms based on whoever's hosting the episode. This week it's Dylan's turn to host the N64 top 25 as he's barely played 20 N64 games (better leave it to the experts eh?) And don't worry, you're not going mad, this episode was filmed after Thanksgiving and was postponed for a whole load of reasons.

Let's not beat about the bush, this is now our 200th episode extravaganza as the drunk mailbox episode was a complete write-off for several reasons. Will it ever see the light of day? Possibly.

Adrian has come up with many gaming-related questions to pose to the boys (the rounds in which definitely do not infringe any copyright laws...).
Rob and James versus Keith and Kev, who will be crowned kings of our "ef off 2020" quiz? Listen to find out!

Eternal Champions & Virtua Fighter - just two of the iconic games Michael Latham helped create while being a producer at SEGA.

Plus, with a very special guest to help keep us all in check!
For our 199th episode we thought it only right to wax lyrical about our favourite ever video game company - SEGA.
Favourite SEGA consoles, favourite games, favourite arcade games, memories - it's all here, for two whole hours! Ex-SEGA supremo (and, amazingly, AA fan) Michael Latham kindly joined us to join in the fun and tell us more than a few amazing stories from the company's golden era.

Gunstar Heroes, Tomb Raider, the SEGA Menacer... Just a few of the titles and projects ex-SEGA producer Mac Senour helped create. Enjoy a great interview with a true SEGA legend.
Mac Senour shares some really eye-opening and unbelievable stories about his time working as a producer for SEGA for Arcade Attack. Mac reflects on the extremely strained relationship between SEGA of America and SEGA of Japan during the early 90's with some stories you need to hear to believe.
He also discusses his vital role on getting the legendary Gunstar Heroes released - which seemed to be destined for the bin! Mac also talks about his role on the SEGA Menacer gun, working on Taz for the Game Gear, playing golf with Clint Eastwood and getting hit in the stomach by Joe Frazier. Mac also reflects on his time working for Atari and US Gold and his role in helping Lara Croft and Tomb Raider see the light of day. Mac also provided a lovely text interview in the past for Arcade Attack.

Yep, we've gone all meta and are now interviewing each other! Ha ha! But seriously, Adrian has been the main driving force at AA so I (Dylan) thought it'd be nice to make him the interviewee for a change.
So, learn more about the man and let us take you on a whistle-stop tour of our journey so far. Apologies if we missed any of you in the shoutouts, we only had an hour!

Oh you'd better believe there's a volume two of this! In the last of our poor-sound-quality pods (is that a term?) the boys minus Dyl and plus Kev go on an Adrian-led journey through some of the strangest gaming peripherals ever made.
The Sega Activator, Mind Link and an inflatable motorbike for the NES are just three of the treats in store. And Troy Aikman gets a good "kicking", what more could you ask for?
