Drop in to the late nineties with Andy & Dave as we discuss the beauty of THPS, the art of the 'Strawpedo', the majesty of California Games, and the shear abject horror of having to listen to the The Suicide Machines' "New Girl" for the first time in twenty years. 

Namco's classic lightgun arcade series is the focus of this episode - with Barbarian, Hitman, John Woo movies and Lebowski's bar in Glasgow featuring among the many obstacles to us sticking to the point!

Is Nico Collard really that horrible? Is George Stobbard secretly a pr**k? And are there any cocktails that we can somehow pair with gaming history's most annoying goat?

Give us 59 minutes of your time and the answer to all these questions (and more) will become clear!

Trailer for Cocktail Mode - the podcast where great games meet great drinks!

Minnie Driver, Motorway Service Stations, and (of course) Turbo Esprit all feature in this episodes conversation about Taito's brilliant cop chase game - we even try and settle the decades old argument of which was better: ZX Spectrum or Amstrad CPC464?

While reminiscing about the all-conquering fighting game Dave and I touch on Arcade Etiquette, Single Player modes, Kylie's posterior, and THAT movie! We even eventually get around to pairing Street Fighter 2 with a couple of cocktails!
