In 1991
Video System released what is undeniably the best three-player
vertical arcade shooter that retrofits Lamborghinis into flying
vehicles that fight a giant Lexus in space - and 35 years later
we’re talking about it. Now get your butt in the Diablo(on) as we
launch Turbo Force!
With its blood selling for $60k per gallon is Turbo Force’s giant
horseshoe crab the most valuable boss in an arcade game? Does “C”
stand for “Canada,” “controversy,” or “curling”? Did we have the
opportunity to buy a famed arcade gaming IP and miss it? Is this
the ultimate 90s Trapper Keeper game come to life?
We get into the Olympics spirit by - in what may be a Podouken
first - all picking the same winter sport to make into an arcade
game. We also broadcast our favorite arcade announcers, explore our
work ethic by answering if we just hang at the arcade business we
own, and what rare games we would refuse to put out for public
play. Join the Podouken Discord and ask your own questions that
could be included in a future episode: discord.gg/k5vf2Jz
