Hello KLOV.
A new episode of the Ted Dabney Experience is up. An in depth chat with Dr Alan Meades, author of Arcade Britannia. Alan talks with us about the differences between American and British arcades and how the British arcade scene embraced videogames in the mid 70s and beyond.
A slightly different discussion from a British perspective that you will find super interesting.
Dr Alan Meades teaches the undergraduate and post-graduate game design courses at Canterbury Christ Church University and is the author of Arcade Britannia, published by MIT Press. After dedicating so many episodes of the show to the mythic American arcade of the late Seventies and early Eighties (in some ways perhaps more a figment of our collective imagination than we might care to admit) it was wonderful having Alan provide a much wider historical context of the amusement arcade, actually dating back hundreds of years and all via a uniquely British lens.
