Ep. 58 – The Best Arcade Game of All Time (Our Picks vs. The Critics)

In this episode of The Terrible Gamers Podcast, hosts Kevin and Kyle dive straight into the flashing lights and chaotic energy of the arcade era to answer one huge question — what’s the greatest arcade game of all time? But here’s the catch: we’re not talking about what the critics say. Nope. We’re talking about the real answers, straight from two lifelong retro gamers who lived through it.

After checking out an official “best arcade games” list from IGN, Kevin and Kyle break it down, call out the questionable picks, and then throw their own choices into the ring. From Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to Street Fighter II, Galaga, and maybe a few curveballs you won’t see coming, the guys debate which game truly deserves the crown.

Expect nostalgic stories, heated opinions, and plenty of laughs as the crew revisits the glory days of cabinets, coins, and competition. Whether you’re a hardcore retro collector or just love classic gaming banter, this episode is pure arcade gold.

🎮 Watch now and let us know YOUR pick for the best arcade game of all time!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
