259 - Hidden Arcade Gems - Volume 1

Join Kingy and Drisky as they take you through some obscure arcade gaming gems.   We all love discovering new games and we all get paralysed by the sheer choice of most retro collections, that we thought it would be fun if we choose an obscure gem in each genre for us all to try.   Volume 1 is Kingy's choices with Volume 2 and Drisky's choices coming soon.    We would also love you the listeners to give your suggestions. So come join us  as Kingy suggest some real wonders, we would love for you to try them and tell us what you think...
