It's a bonanza of stand-up arcade feature stories this week. Will Basic Fun! give Arcade1Up a powerful next stage? We also remember the life and career of Sega legend David Rosen and look at the latest in miniature cabinets from My Arcade including Sonic the Hedgehog, Galaga, Pac-Man, and Atari hits. In other news a Sega racer achieves a rare trifecta on the show, the origins of PCMCIA are discussed, and we follow up on Stunt Car (Track) Racer and Freescape from last week's show.
