The only game weapon I've ever wished I actually had was the Smart Bomb. Many innocent people in traffic would be turned to crumbs on a daily basis.

I started by building a MAME cab after randomly googling Donkey Kong and Robotron in a moment of nostalgia. To me, it's hard to beat something that will play dozens of your favorite games... I ended up building a horizontal then vertical cabinet before starting to grab the dedicated games I...

I'm sure there are worse games, but the ribbon cable and RAM issues of Defender/Rototron/Stargate all made me hold my breath after doing anything -even just moving them. The Robotron is running on a JROK right now. I have some pinball machines too, which can also be pretty hair raising.

Interesting experiment... Logged in, I get the $42 price. Logged out, it's $21 with a $21.99 delivery fee!

I've owned a Defender and a Stargate for like 15 years and thought I'd been through it all with 4164 RAM swaps, rug patterns, ribbon cables and other Williams quirks, but I never saw this issue or heard this term before. I actually waited to reply to see if someone else was confused by it.

I have a few of those oddball overlays as well as my cigarette burned original hanging on the wall.

To me, this looks like a Back In The Day conversion, and not even a bad one. Space Duel stopped making money and an op changed it over to this with a clean rebranding. I think Altered Beast stinks with it's horrible collision detection, but I would have walked up to this thing in 1988 and not...

I'll hit you up so I can introduce myself if you're there, but don't want entry comped. Looking forward to checking the place out! Thanks very much!

I'm about an hour away, gonna get a couple buddies together for a road trip. The vibe of that place is off the charts, you did a great job!

I think the stainless door is smaller by about 1/4" of an inch in each direction.

Just went through this last week. Something shipped to me from San Diego and made it to Out For Delivery status on like the 5th day (pretty good). When the mailman dropped off the mail without leaving the box, I looked again and it still said arriving by 9pm. Late deliveries like that NEVER...

Looks like Pepper II, but in slow motion. That's a cool find!

It has been a long time since I did mine, but looking at pics I think I just pulled the handle and wiring harness and pulled the whole thing out the bottom.

I was thinking that looked different from mine, and couldn't place exactly why. Just took a look and mine is all woodgrain, sides and front. If I was going to paint it, think I'd do it all in black. I restored the control panel and put a great monitor in it. The cab is raggedy and nobody plays...

I'm right in the same era as pretty much everyone else here. I remember walking into 7-11 with my mom and seeing a new Stunt Cycle. You didn't know anything about that shit, it just showed up and that was so cool. My join date here coincides with my wife getting pregnant. I stopped racing...
