Hell is
empty, and all the devils are here. Any good miniseries must
include the best game of that genre, so let’s discuss Dave
Theurer’s gorgeous vector Atari game, Tempest.

We answer your most pressing questions like, have we played Arcade
Paradise or similar arcade operator simulators, what’s our advice
on staying cool, and would we rather be paid $1 million or earn
$1,000 for every hotdog we eat. Join the Podouken Discord and ask
your own questions that could be included in a future episode:
