    Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

    Picked up my Pac-Man cabaret! This is the perfect conversion candidate for Jr. Pac and I'm excited to add it to my Pac collection… while I restore an upright Pac… and already have a Pac in the lineup… so three Pacs… One could say I have a "Three Pac"… But this'll be Jr. Pac, my original Pac...

    Show me your colored (non-black) t-molding :)

    My Rally-X factory orange I bought my Galaxian with it already having light blue. But yes, both Pac-Man and Rally-X shipped official from Chicago with orange T-molding.

    What 80’s Arcades Really Looked Like

    It’s insane to think Chesterfield Towne Center had an arcade. I’m from Chesterfield myself and had no idea.

    Frogger Cabinet Styles

    I love Frogger as a game but the cabinet to me sucks. So I own the 19” cocktail. That way I get the great game and don’t take up upright space with a subjectively boring cabinet.

    Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

    Pac-Man Championship Edition blows everything out the water from 1980 onward. I’ve often thought of building a cabinet dedicated to it running a PC or something.

    What's the lifespan of somebody staying in the hobby?

    This one’s true. I have a lot of different hobbies admittedly and it can be tough to balance with a baby and a toddler. I have to squeeze in minutes when I can. If I invest in a repair, I have to know that could take away from actually playing any games for a bit. Or a project like I’m doing now.

    What's the lifespan of somebody staying in the hobby?

    I came in after buying my first house out the Army at 25 in 2022. I had always wanted to own arcade games since I was a kid. Was always enthralled by them. Grew up with a dad that was 6-12 years old during ‘78-‘84 so the Golden Age is what I came to learn about early on and a lot of Namco games...

    What 80’s Arcades Really Looked Like

    I’m glad new life has been pumped into my thread. A treasure trove for a Zoomer.

    Rest in Peace, alggamer

    It comes for us all. Game over. We keep the credits coming in for those lost. Keeping those continues going.

    Show us your Professional and Broadcasting Video Monitors (PVMs and BVMs)!

    I also own a bunch of TVs. I love CRTs. It’s another of my many hobbies. Here we have my Sony PVM-20M2U and my JVC TM-910SU.

    Today I learned more about…

    So I watched @GothGirl ‘s Rally-X video again from a few years ago and realized "wait…she just…she just plugs up either one?!"

    Today I learned more about…

    Midway Rally-X board pinouts being the exact same as the Namco New Rally-X boards. I imported a Namco New Rally-X board from Brazil and was super antsy to plug in the edge connector for fear of sending 12v into some Namco customs or something. Saw the board on eBay about a month ago and knew I...

    Sometimes I think this hobby wants me to go..

    I'm just happy when a good 90%ish of my 28 games are working fully, marquee light on, everything. It's definitely taught me patience, this hobby. I had to shift my focus to finding satisfaction in the troubleshooting as part of "playing" the actual game. "This is just another stage/level". Still...

    which one of your games did you PLAY today?

    Been playing a lot of Pac-Man, normal speed. I’ve been trying to get better at it. I’ve always played Pac games sped up but wanted to slow it down to really learn the game deeply and been getting better with patterns and such.

    Various Free Play hacks

    Dear God I must acquire the Bosconian kit.

    Grabs so far this year, would like to see other collectors as well.

    Photos of the game on after replacing the bulb with a brand new cool white to make the beautiful 3D marquee pop. Monitor looks great. The joystick cushion ring was sticky and shot to hell as with most Xybots, Assault, etc. style Atari Games sticks. Micro switches stood no chance and Pac-Man...

    I just love toppers, that’s pretty much it

    I do. I really do. I recently re-did my lineup and am going to be placing nice, quality signage on the middleish cabinet of each manufacturer’s dedicated row in both my rooms of my arcade. Since I re-aligned my Bally+Midway/Namco row after acquiring Bosconian and Rally-X, I really was looking...

    Post your best LIT UP Arcade pics

    Stopping back into the thread to say the Namco/Midway row has finally been completed wall to wall. (Plus Atari Dig Dug but Namco so he gets a pass) No longer the awkward Battlezone next to Bosconian, finally Bosco and Rally-X, the forgotten brothers back where they belong, alongside Galaga and...
