My Arcade GameStation Go In-Depth Review + How to Add Games Tutorial
Thank you to the MyArcade Team for sending me this product for review! I've tested and played this for the last month and have been highly impressed with the quality of the handheld compared to other MyArcade product offerings. The simple UI is great for multiple console emulation, PLUS the ability to easily add thousands of games for free is fantastic. The biggest con is the MSRP price point at $179.99. If this were around the $150 mark or slightly lower, this would be a tremendous buy so hopefully you may be able to catch it on sale sometime!

RePlay Magazine Podcast - Frank 'The Crank' Seninsky
TL;DRFrank Seninsky shares his 50-year career in coin-op entertainment and his philosophy of giving back to the industry.
If you’ve been in coin-op any appreciable amount of time, you know the name Frank Seninsky (maybe you know him by his alter ego “Frank the Crank”), and if you’re fortunate, you’ve had the opportunity to work with him and call him a friend. Since he started in coin-op in 1969 with a $25 investment, placing a Gottlieb North Star pinball machine in his college fraternity house, Frank has been all-in. His Alpha-Omega operations grew from college game rooms to arcades on the Jersey Shore to distribution, consulting and more. Frank is the consummate entrepreneur, industry cheerleader, seminar presenter, prolific writer, association president (AMOA and IALEI), operator, distributor, consultant, idea man, founder of Foundations Entertainment University… the list goes on. (We’ve never seen the Energizer Bunny and Frank in the same room. Coincidence? We think not.) In short, it was a real treat for RePlay Magazine podcast host Randy Chilton to talk with Frank, who reflects on his years in the industry and more in this not-to-be-missed episode. Dive in!
