With the imminent release of Ridge Racer on the Arcade Archives series, Drisky and Kingy thought it would be a good idea to peruse all the games on offer in this collection and recommend some of their favourites in it. Of course, there are so many games to choose from, but the lads managed to settle on six fantastic ones for everyone to play along with the episode.
Games on the show:
Circus Charlie
Jackal
Overtop
Butasan
Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad
Shao-Lin's Road

Released in 1982, the Colecovision was a direct contender to the Atari 5200, yet no one really speaks about it - especially in the UK.

The games are:
Donkey Kong Jr.
Mr. Do
Gyruss
Bump ‘n’ Jump

Congo Bongo
Matt Patrol (unreleased version of Moon Patrol)
