As any old school gamer will tell you, there was a time before home consoles where video games existed purely in arcades, and when they did make their way into the homes it was still years before good looking and fun multiplayer existed, and forget internet, a decade at least away!

Fighters, shooters, racers, pinball, you name it the arcade was the place to go. This week the VG Boys discuss their top 20 favorite arcade classics from the years where arcades were where it was at for gaming. Enjoy the podcast!
