I built an 80s video arcade | Arcade Tycoon Early Access
196Arcade Tycoon allows you to drift back in time to a point where people were prepared to bung a tenner into Street Fighter to spend the afternoon learning how to hadouken like a boss. Not me. I want playing Double Dragon, or Final Fight, or Golden Axe. Or XMen. XMen was cool. So was 720. Arcades were cool. Now they're full of bandits and insist on giving you paper tokens that you can exchange for goodies if you collect enough to reforest the Amazon. Arcades were better before they were killed by PlayStations.
Anyway, this is Arcade Tycoon. It's early access and a little feature limited at present, so here's a quick look at what you can do. If you choose to do so. It's here! On steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/750520/Arcade_Tycoon/
The developer sent me a key in the hope I'd make a video. This is that video.

Keep reading! This is where I put an easter egg in every video! It definitely isn't exactly the same every single time. No. Secrets are shared below. You should click on all the links to ensure you don't miss the secrets (*).

Do you want to follow a Twitter account that is actually cheerful? Not in the kind of way that offers life-affirming, inspirational text with a waterfall in the background, but in a jolly, acerbic kind of way? Follow me on Twitter. That's what I do. http://twitter.com/cnlfailure
Do you want to know what videos are coming up each week? A few people do. I don't always get around to publishing the schedule, but when I do, I do it on Facebook. Not sure why I chose Facebook, but there you are. http://facebook.com/cnlfailure
That's all for now. You can go about your business.
(*) - Today's secret: This sort of thing is right up my street, but needs a little more percolation time I feel. The question then is should one buy an early access game despite it being feature-light with the aim of supporting the developer and getting the game you want? Or should you wait for early access to mature the game a little more before diving in? Only you can choose.
