Retronauts Talk Street Fighter
I am a massive videogame podcast listener and one of my favourites is 1UP’s Retronauts. This week I was pleasantly surprised that thier latest episode was all about the Street Fighter series which I highly recommend. Everything is talked about, from the fantastic Alpha series and the upcoming SF4 to the not so fantastic Street Fighter »

Tron and Battlezone CG cabinets by Peter Hirschberg
This has been fairly slow week without a lot of news to post about but don’t worry, we’re still here. I’ll put this post into a ‘time waster’ category but a cool time waster nonetheless (for you classic gamers anyways). Very nice 3D animation of the BattleZone and Tron arcade cabinets by Peter Hirschberg. »
Tron and Prince of Persia Coming to XBLA
Two new entries appeared on the ESRB’s updated list today, which sound like additional Xbox Live Arcade titles.

Happy National Arcade Day!
Today, April 8th, has been declared to be National Arcade Day. According to this page, it was set by LAI Games, although I’m not sure why today was picked as that day, as there is no major arcade event that I can find that is tied to this date. But, since non-arcade media is »
Bubsy Paws Into Pinball (Updated!)
Atari has been on a retro kick lately, grabbing the rights to all sorts of forgotten classic IP, including the failed 1990s gaming mascot Bubsy.
