Coin Rejects - Classic Arcade Podcast

Broadcasting from the Cabaret Kingdom, the game of the evening is Sega's Up'n Down (not Bump 'n Jump). We talk about the real arcade collecting question, 'To bling or not to bling your machine'. We give you the lowdown on our recent repairs/projects and Ian schools us on the Moppet masterpiece, The Berenstain Bears in Big Paw's Cave!

The Rejects join you live at the Cabaret Kingdom in this action packed episode. We play the wild spaghetti space western, Lazarian. Recap this years Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Last but not least, we play some listener feedback and field some tech questions from the arcade masses!

We start out with our weekly game challenge. The game, this episode, is not an video game. This episode's game is, the popular pinball machine, Medieval Madness. Ian takes us through some of the finer points of lining up shots on the game. We also have special guests Chuck and Toby from the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. We talk to them about the history of the show, what to expect from the show this year and what goes into making the show a success. Hint: The secret lies in the tablecloths.

Broadcasting from the backyard of the Sputnik Arcade Station, we talk all about the ins and outs of tube swapping monitors. Talk a little more about the JROK ZooQ board. The game of the evening was Food Fight and we discuss the game and the strategies. We also talk about some of the best side art and the ethics of reproduction artwork.

Back in the Barthcade for this episode. Since most of us went to the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show, we go over all the games we played up in Washington. There is a little laser talk and some monitor tech talk. Brian gets a JROK ZooQ board and we play Omega Race as our competition game and we talk about game strategies and cabinet variations. We even went for a pre-show ride in Brian's recently acquired '67 VW Beetle.
