Original Japanese arcade flyer for FixEight by Toaplan, showing the eight playable characters, who run the gamut from scantily clad ladies to robots and aliens.

Screenshot from FixEight, showing one of the playable character battling against alien ships.

FIXEIGHT. (Toaplan Arcade 3) Toaplan does top-down run-and-gun in style with this excellently chaotic blastathon! Pick from eight playable characters and cause some mayhem, and bring a friend along for some added fun on VS and Alpha.

@carolvorders.bsky.social bloody hell its our vorders... She's my favourite ❤️😀👍

I truly believe #ArkhamCity is a much better game than #ArkhamKnight

An ad for the Amstrad GX4000 from MicroHobby magazine. In the top left, the console itself appears; it's trying to evoke two different 90s art styles at once with broad curves (the lip over the controller ports, the handles to either side, the decorative notches in the case) being very Wonka Pomo but the white-grey case with a light touch of red for the power switch and cartridge being very Mall Deco. The controllers continue this, with the soft rounded wonka pomo corners but austere mall deco. Beneath, however, it's pure sci-fi: the machine floats over a space battle, in space, a planet down below, with a Legally Distinct X-Wing (only two wings!) and a Legally Distinct Enterprise (it a glass dome and the Space Shuttle instead of nacelles!) are evading a gold space robot firing a raygun. The Spanish text reads "Super Fast" (next to images of the games Fire Forge II and No Exit), "Super Graphics" (next to images of the games Kick and Dick Tracy), "Super Sound" (next to images of the games Batman and Robocop 2). Down below is the price (19,900 pesetas) and the Amstrad logo ("Amstrad has what you want!")

Super fast! Super graphics! Super sound! (Source.)

I can't wait to play #WWE2K25 this weekend.

Bring back arcade culture. Grab some coins and friends and get yourself outside the house to go and play videogames the fashion way.
Its an amazing experience kids today have missed out on.
Luckily retro arcades are about but sadly not on a scale I would love to see.

I absolutely loved Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom in the arcades. It absolutely nailed the gloomy atmosphere of the film and as per usual Atari at the time allowed you to select your starting difficulty in style 👍

Absolutely. I'm using this purely for gaming and camping
👍

I hope this new platform gets a bigger audience 👍

#blotoutdoorsshow a cracking YouTube channel.

PonderPRG - Twitch Train driver from Cardiff, into science and retro tech; especially classic arcade, and Commodore 8/16/32 bit computers. Streaming purely for the fun of it. Featuring emulation, real C64, real Amiga 12...

In about an hour (19:00 GMT) I'll be streaming Tilt by Codemasters (1990) for the Everything C64 March Challenge.

I wonder if you have ever met my brother Alan. He is a train driver here in Gloucester

Point Blank is my all tine favourite light gun game 👍

That abstract colour on the burger picture at a quick glance looks similar to the legendary bounty hunter #BobaFett

I dream of a time when this is what arcades were all about, not a single claw machine or ticket booth in sight 😍

Oh yes, A brand new Spectrum and the incredible Toaplan 3&4 carts. The best Christmas in a while

Does anyone remember a time when arcade machines sometimes had a jam tart case blu tacked to the cabinet as a make shift ashtray or was that just something from Gloucester arcades back in the 80s
