Turbo Force - Episode 157
Episode 157
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
In 1991 Video System released what is undeniably the best three-player vertical arcade shooter that retrofits Lamborghinis into flying vehicles that fight a giant Lexus in space - and 35 years later we're talking about it. Now get your butt in the Diablo(on) as we launch Turbo Force! With its blood selling for $60k per gallon is Turbo Force's giant horseshoe crab the most valuable boss in an arcade game? Does "C" stand for "Canada," "controversy," or "curling"? Did we have the opportunity to buy a famed arcade gaming IP and miss it? Is this the ultimate 90s Trapper Keeper game come to life? We get into the Olympics spirit by - in what may be a Podouken first - all picking the same winter sport to make into an arcade game. We also broadcast our favorite arcade announcers, explore our work ethic by answering if we just hang at the arcade business we own, and what rare games we would refuse to put out for public play.
