Great podcast and loved the accompanying vids too!
The North Vs South quiz was good fun if perhaps a little mean!
But what a trip... to quote old blue eyes, it's my kind of town...
Varkon looked incredible. It goes onto my bucket list to play, along with
Pinball Circus, an even rarer upright pinball - apparently just a couple of those bad boys were manufactured.
Glad you made a special mention of Time Traveller and Holosseum - I saw Shaun fly past them in the walk around vid and I did a massive double take - did Shaun really just walk past a Time Traveller AND a Holosseum??! One of the piers in Blackpool had a Time Traveller back in the day and it blew me away... it was like seeing the Star Wars "let the wookie win" hologram game in the flesh. I have been formulating a plan for scratch building one using a half dome security mirror. I think it should be doable and you should be able to reduce the machine footprint considerably by using a modern flatscreen. And as Time Traveller is a laser game, it's one of the few classic games that might actually look better on a flat screen. Anyway... very early doors on that project but watch this space...
Thanks for another year of podding, have a great Christmas and bring on 2019!
