This is the simpit, I’m your host Devin Booth, but the real star of today’s show are the arcades that started it all. We’re going back in time, to the birth of sim racing, that’s right, we’re sending it all the way back to 1973. This was the golden age of arcade gaming, when kids were told to get out of the house more often than not, and what better place to be than said arcades. These places gave kids the first taste of the gaming world, and started the momentum for what would ultimately become the focus of many peoples lives here in the 21st century.
