Before online lobbies and DLCs, gaming meant arcades, quarters, and trash talk.
In this episode, we revisit arcade culture, console wars, early home computing, and the shift to modern gaming. From Gauntlet and Mortal Kombat to VR and monetization models, we ask what gaming gained — and what it lost.
Topics include: arcade history, retro gaming, console wars, video game culture, VR gaming.
🎙️ Original Geek — Gen X geek culture from people who lived it.
Hosted by Steve Scarfo and Jeff Shaw.
