Hello 2012

Hello and welcome to Arcade Throwback 2012 Edition.  I hope you've all had a good Christmas and New Year and you're ready to face the next 12 months. And yes, I know it's the 2nd, but my daughter's birthday is on the 1st of January, so you're never going to see a post that day, so tough.

Over the next twelve months I hope to keep up the snippets of arcade news I've been posting, as well as my features I introduced last year.  But wait, there's more, I some new have ideas for 2012, including a look at games that spawned new genres and a new regular feature about famous, interesting or downright bizarre boss fights (inspired by last month's glossary entry about bosses).  Hopefully I'll have time for everything.

Oh, and Happy New Year.
