Podcast 174 – Battle Of Atlantis / Mariner

Ten Pence Arcade

(SH) Victor is off this month watering his new plants in Glasgow, so I'm joined by a guest. Who you may ask? It's only Paul Driscoll, AKA The Drisk, that's who. Paul's encyclopedic knowledge of gaming has put him in good stead to found the University Of Reet Good Gaming in Central Birmingham. 1000s of students from all across Bartley Green have flocked to the university to listen to Mr. Drisk do some spiel about ancient pixel history and to be learnt right up. Apologies folks: some, if not all, of that last paragraph may contain factual discrepancies, inconsistencies, and downright lies. I get carried away sometimes. But Paul IS on the show though. So get listening, b!tches!
