BOOMSHAKALAKA! NBA Jam announcer Tim Kitzrow and Mutant Football League creator Michael Mendheim join us to talk arcade sports games in history.

Go up for the big slam, ARGonauts! We’re closing 2018 in a boom (and shakalaka) with returning guests Tim Kitzrow and Michael Mendheim. They provide their experiences with arcade sports games and how much they love the genre. Plus Tim gives us the NBA Jam treatment in our introduction! Kaboom!

There’s no news this week, so instead, we get into the holiday spirit and give away game codes galore! Listen up for a chance to win copies of Sega Genesis Classics, R-Type Dimensions EX, Horizon Shift 81, and Michael’s game Mutant Football League. There are even details on how you can win a physical copy of Mutant Football League for Nintendo Switch!

The Stage of History adds in games that Tim and Michael have worked in with Mutant League Hockey and NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC. Robert then clobbers us with Super High Impact during Obscura. There’s no Random Select, but we more than make up for it with off-the-wall shenanigans that only the NBA Jam guy can provide.

We will be taking next week off for the holidays. Please have a safe and fun holiday break. See you next year for more retro gaming!
