Hey Got Gamers,

The modern arcade just doesn’t exist anymore. The invention of the all-in-one media centers that we call the current generation of consoles has erased the arcade from existence. However, a few groups are trying to keep parts of our collective childhood alive. The Barcade in New York City is probably the most famous, but locally A&C Games should certainly be applauded for the creation of their A&C World.

Another group has decided to step up and revive a part of those good old days. Jason and Rachel Hazzard will be opening up the Pinball Cafe here in Toronto on February 14th.  What’s the Pinball Cafe all about? We talked to co-owner Jason about his pinball cafe to find out, so check out the audio file below this paragraph for the answers. That audio file is our weekly post-broadcast podcast, but we just call it the February 12th 2012 edition of Got Game.
