    ZAPCON 7: Classic Arcade and Pinball Convention in AZ! May 4th & 5th, 2019

    I enjoyed Sunday at the show. Sorry I didn't have much time to schmooze around with you guys, I was hosting two visitors from out of town who are casual players and had never really spent much time on pinball, and they really enjoyed it. Any of you who might have met the extremely well-spoken...

    ZAPCON 7: Classic Arcade and Pinball Convention in AZ! May 4th & 5th, 2019

    I will be at Zapcon as an attendee, I stopped doing convention stuff for the Desert Sky Games business because of mainly turnover of all my staff who were trained in off-site operations. In fact, Zapcon a year or two ago was the last time we ran one, because I was familiar enough with the...

    FS Game: Tempest upright in Chandler, Arizona

    I'm sure there's one out there that's good enough, heh. But for this I gotta stay on the money plan. Last year I moved my two small stores into one big store. Most difficult business project I ever worked on.

    FS Game: Tempest upright in Chandler, Arizona

    Fully working. Some cosmetic wear (see photos). Uses vector but also includes vector-2-vga components (not hooked up) for future-proofing. I'd rather not sell but funds have been tight lately, and I'm only a few grand away from being able to pay off my minivan, and with no car payment I can...

    Glendale Nets $400 Per Game In Liquidation Auction

    That stuff is the hotness of the next few years. I'd gladly have bought that all up if I knew it was happening.

    Worst Christmas shipping season I can remember for USPS and Fedex

    I get UPS shipments literally every business day of new and restock product, as well as frequent FedEx and USPS. About half of my orders are arriving on time, out of the other half, most are a day behind, and a small percentage are later. It happens this time of year. Just the nature of the...

    I got a Sega CD today

    When you're ready to play. The Sega CD plays burned discs just fine. The ones you want to find are Snatcher, Sonic CD, and especially Popful Mail Fantasy Adventure (the spiritual sequel to Faxanadu from the NES). On the 32X the best games are the shooter Kolibri, a great port of Mortal Kombat...

    Metroid: The Sky Calls - Fanmade Short Film

    Yeah I thought Jessica's acting was reasonably well done but I was like wow, she needs to lay off the coffee and cigarettes at 1am and let those eyes clear up. :D Still, so great to see. Enjoyed every minute of it.
