I finally set up my arcade machine. By machine I mean “a Windows PC running Maximus Arcade and an X-Arcade joystick, sitting in the corner of the office”, but hey, it’s close enough. I know some say that Maximus Arcade is dead, but I have a license, and it works out of the box with my X-Arcade joystick. So I’ll use it for now.

I have fond memories of so many arcade games when I was younger. I lived during the arcade peak, and they were at every corner café and arcade in South Africa. I played lots and spent money to match. We actually drew inspiration from the arcade era for our own game, Toxic Bunny.
