92: Wakanda Forever
3 hr 18 min listen
August 2020 - it took a lot from us. The news of losing both Chadwick Boseman and Curt Vendell hurt and hurt badly as their contributions to the collective community are as meaningful in both number as they are in prolific and lasting impact. With that, we reflect on the respective contributions from both and pay our due respects, then it's back to business as usual with gameroom updates, spend some of Brent's money, discuss the new Pixel Planet Arcade that is opening soon in TN and speculate a bit on the newest game release by Stern Pinball (Avengers: Infinity Quest). Add to all of that and we feature a panel discussion panel (entitled "Dan Kitchen's Goldrush") from the 2019 Portland Retro Gaming Expo where Dan Kitchen talks about his upcoming game for the Atari 2600 (it's a sequel to Activision's Keystone Kapers) and is joined by his brother Garry Kitchen and prolific game designer David Crane. Also - don't forget to enter the Lit Frame's contest giveaway! We're taking submissions until Midnight EST on Sept. 15th! Wherever you are in the world – we thank you for listening and hope that you and your family are safe and continue to be in good health. We hope you enjoy the episode!

His family owned Playland arcade in North Lavallette NJ for almost 3 decades starting in 1957. The interview focuses primarily on the Arcade’s history and some of the Classic games from days gone by. There is very little pinball in this episode. They talk about the area and turn their attention to what happened to the games and how things have changed in the industry. Randy Senna (Randyland) purchased most of the older games and now has an arcade and soon to be museum in Wildwood, NJ featuring some of his collection. He also was featured in a Hoarders TV show and has numerous videos on YouTube. The discussion then turns to Seaside, Barnacle Bills, The Sawmill and Hurricane Sandy. If you grew up during this time vacationing in the area or curious how times have changed you will be entertained by his stories, views and perspective.
