Lucky & Wild - Episode 153
Tuesday, 16 December, 2025
Let's go! Ah, the early 90s when the perfect date night meant hopping into a sit-down arcade game based on buddy cop movies, grabbing the steering wheel with one hand, gun with the other, and having you and your passenger blast away the bad guys in gory pixelated glory. Was there anything better than Namco's unique driver/shooter Lucky & Wild? Do you believe the story that Lucky & Wild drew no inspiration from Tango & Cash? How do we like DotEmu's new Marvel Cosmic Invasion (we swear it's not a paid advertisement - unless they want it to be)? Was this entire game a thinly veiled anti-tobacco message? What exactly is that Maserati's rearview mirror attached to? Some holiday-themed questions for this episode include what gamer gifts we do want (and don't want); asking us to identify our ghosts of arcade past, present, and future; and, do we weaponize our candy canes? Join the Podouken Discord and ask your own questions that could be included in a future episode: discord.gg/k5vf2Jz You can also like, comment, and subscribe to our YouTube channel where we post our listener question segments and additional content: https://www.youtube.com/@podoukenpodcast2716.
