Oh man, it's GAELCO time. Throughout the '80s and '90s, Gaelco was the primary developer, manufacturer, and distributor of arcade cabinets in Spain. While some of their machines were released overseas, many of their best and weirdest games only saw limited distribution in parts of Europe. In this series, we're going to use MAME to play every single arcade game Gaelco produced throughout its lifespan.

In this episode, we cover the manic pizza delivery sim Radikal Bikers and its console-ported spiritual successor Smashing Drive. Plus we take a look at a prototype version of Smashing Drive that featured content from the arcade edition that was cut from the final retail release.
