As we all know, there's no better way to spend the holidays then alone, in a dive bar, playing grungy games with the barflies and boozers.  "But how can we do that when the bars are all closed?", I hear you ask!  Fear not, for ARG 146 is here to answer that question!  We have two bar substitutes here to help you through this difficult period!  First, THE BRENT goes WAY back with Electronic Table Soccer for the Odyssey 2, and then Amigo Aaron takes us into the bawdy, under the table world of BAR GAMES!

🗳️ Vote for your favorite Amigos games of 2020! Results will be announced on our New Year's Spectacular!

On this episode of Sprite Castle I take a look at the newly released THEC64 Maxi, the full-size Commodore computer from Retro Games Limited. I talk about the settings, the built-in games, and playing downloaded games. I also talk about what a pain in the butt it was to acquire one in North America, and compare it to everything from a Raspberry Pi to an FPGA-based MiST and an Ultimate 64 to help people decide if this product makes sense for them.

We're back for Episode 48 -

In this episode Cody and Eric catch up on the news and discuss "6 Good "Christmas" Games".

We are doing news for the first monthly episode and then "catching up" later in the month.
