Скачать или смотреть How Many Quarters Did These Games Steal? |The Best Arcade Shooters | Ep. 5.07

Season 5 keeps the quarters rolling as The Rushmore Show dives headfirst into the flashing screens, blistered thumbs, and pixel chaos of the arcade era. In Episode 5.07, we’re carving out Arcade Shooters, celebrating the games that tested reflexes, punished mistakes, and made every victory feel earned. From bullet-hell madness to side-scrolling classics, these are the games that defined skill, repetition, and sheer determination.

Joining Kirk and Andy are Mannys Arcade and Kevin Sims, two voices who know arcade gaming from the inside out. Together, we break down what makes a great shooter, why arcades demanded mastery, and how these games shaped modern action design while teaching patience, perseverance, and respect for the grind.
