Prop Cycle - Episode 170

Podouken

About

If Hayao Miyazaki agreed to make an arcade game we doubt it would fit better in his world than this one. We continue the Peripherals Y'alls miniseries with Namco's exertainment calorie burner, Prop Cycle.

Was Prop Cycle the first arcade game that tricked kids into healthy gaming? Is the Namco System Super 22 the heaviest arcade system ever made? Why is the story so good for a bicycle game? Did you know that NDAs expire? Well they do, so we tell our long unspoken FSU football arcade story about a nightmare night with B.Rad.

We answer these humdingers: what is our favorite and least favorite game to play based on an existing property, who's the best MST3K host, what is the difference between the dead and undead, and will Sound Boy ever get resurrected?
