This show covers the golden age of video games...the arcades of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. I will talk about the arcade games themselves and the vibe of the arcade and why without it we wouldn't have the video games of today.

Living in the Retro Arcade Episode 131 - The Electro Mechanical Era

Before we had games like Space Invaders we had electro mechanical games like Ride Motorcycle. These were games that did not have CPUs or CRTs but motors and lights. Today we talk about games like Motorcycle, Pinball and Varisty as well as the Tomy Classics Digital Derby, Baseball and Blip where were all electro mechanical games.
