It's just you and a fist full of quarters. The room is lit by nothing but high scores and power-ups. You choose an arcade cabinet, and nothing can stop you. It's this kind of nostalgia that Hi-Bit Studios wants you to revel in as you step through their indie timepiece, 198X. You play as Kidd; a youth just trying to find their way in a rapidly growing world. With their childhood in the rearview mirror... what's next?

Mark, Dave and Dan share their experiences in this pixelated paradise. Does this game do a good job as a love letter to 80s gaming culture, or is it game over?

Then, Dave and Dan duel for this season's Trivial Tastemaker trophy: the coveted Silver Monkey. Who will emerge victorious? Will they still be friends after this jarring match? What *is* a podcast, really? All of these questions are answered in this - the 112th episode of the Dinosaur Machines Game Club Podcast!
