Marc, Matt and .... John? Maybe not John, but Marc and Matt are back! In this episode Marc and Matt discuss the Hyper Mega Tech! Super Pocket that is Evercade compatible. The whole Billy Mitchell roller coaster ride that seems to have no ending. And lastly, a bit of Lode Runner arcade, which no one seems to remember ever playing.

Marc, John and... Mark? Get together and chat about the whole scene around bar arcades and how things are progressing or regressing. 1989 Arcade Bar is closing and it hurts. There's something coming in February apparently? And John and Marc talk about their last few years operating games in Beercade.

Game the System launches a whole new way to play and compete in video games, it's the Game the System Ranking Points Leaderboard (GTSRPL)! Grab your favourite beverage, sit back and relax, and listen to Marc, Matt and John discuss the concept, the thinking behind it all, the model, and how you can start interacting with the system right now! There's a new way to measure performances in games beyond Twin Galaxies and Speedrun.com!

In this episode, the awesome dudes over at Play it Up invite the GTS crew - Marc, Matt and John - to join them for a dual podcast where we chat about what we've been up to, the community around retro in Australia, and lots of very cool new developments!

Marc, John and Matt are back to tell some stories about what's been going on in the last few months. Sadly, a lot of it is at home during the Sydney lockdown, but that doesn't stop us having a stupid amount of retro to talk about! Pull up a chair, your favourite beverage, and enjoy us talking nonsense...
