Veteran actor and '80s movie icon Lance Guest sat down at the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo to discuss his role as Alex Rogan in the '80s sci-fi classic, The Last Starfighter.

We went to Momocon and talked to a bunch of indie video game developers with cool projects. We also have a great interview with Charlie Emery of Spooky Pinball we recorded at the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo 2016. We have a bunch of other stuff including gameroom talk, the Journey arcade machine, SFGE memories, and the retro kid's gameshow Video Power!

SFGE planning update, then we go down a Vectrex rabbit hole, lament a broken water heater and flooded basement full of games, go over our current obsessions, and wax poetic about a Polygon article about what it takes to run a location-based arcade in today's economic market.

In episode sixty of the Gameroom Junkies Podcast, we sit down and interview part of the development team responsible for bringing SKYCURSER, the new retro-style arcade game to the modern arcade marketplace.

But wait. That's not all. We also talk about

In this episode a new Alien Pinball playfield reveal gets us thinking about all the great alien-themed games, so of course we made up our list of the top 10 classic arcade games involving aliens. While that conversation certainly takes up a large portion of the show, we also take some time to share our thoughts on the brand new Spider-Man Vault Edition pinball machine from Stern Pinball.

But wait. That's not all. We also talk about
