Last week I visited the Galloping Ghost arcade just outside of Chicago, Illinois. You can hear all about the arcade and my time there in episode 139 of You Don’t Know Flack! Also in this episode I compare the Ghost to some of the other retro arcades I’ve visited recently, including Funspot, the Arkadia Retrocade, and 1984. The “Loading Time” section of this episode is a little longer than I had hoped but, eh, sometimes loading a podcast off of a Commodore Datasette takes a while.
"YDKF 139: The Galloping Ghost Arcade" was originally released on August 4, 2013.

One of the greatest ninja-based arcade games of all time made its way to home compters in the late 1980s, including the Commodore 64. Check out this sorta-kinda decent version of Shinobi and see if I still have the ninja magic!

Use your fists and feet to take on a series of enemies armed with swords, throwing stars, tonfu, and more. There are 10 different enemies see if I can defeat all 10 in this video!
