Errbody inna arcade get tipsy!
This is a video game site, and you are a video game fan, but sometimes it’s important to look at games that have no video at all. These games appeal to players for the same reasons we pump thousands of dollars into our hobby and can give us great insight into some fundamentals of the latest modern console releases. Mechanical games are still around, mainly spitting out tickets at Chuck E. Cheese’s, but I want to explore some classics too. Whenever possible I plan to look at some of these games and discuss how they operate, why they’re fun, and if there’s a way to simulate playing them without too much trouble.
What will the label of the first official 8Bit Beer look like? You decide!

It's madness, I tell ya! Madness!!!
UPDATE: And that does it for round two, folks! Keep your eyes peeled for round 3, which will be starting very soon. Excitement!
Which defunct franchise is most missed? You decide!
UPDATE: Voting has been closed for round 1! We're tallying votes and will be posting the results today along with round 2 matchups. Even though you'll still be able to vote here (we don't have the means to close voting on the polls completely at this time), no new votes will be counted from here on out - so check out round 2 instead!
And sometimes it actually makes it better
I'm kicking off a new segment where I talk about game music, and I wanted to do something special to introduce it. There's a lot of information in the YouTube description you might find interesting about the video itself, but I don't see any value in repeating that a second time here. Instead, I'll give you a little behind the scenes story about how I came up with this.
