New "Polybius" documentary up on Kickstarter Kinda surprised that this wasn't posted here already (or my search-fu is weak), so what the hell: There was a documentary film crew up here in Portland, OR a few months back working on a film about the Polybius [urban legend|hoax|dark goverment...

Kinda stupid, but it makes me laugh so I thought I'd share. A couple years ago we (Ground Kontrol in this case) received a nicely made Q*Bert costume that was used for a short film (that I don't think we ever publicly released). We kept it and haul it out from time to time around Halloween or...

Recommendations for sellers/retailers in San Diego area? Asking on behalf of a friend in San Diego-- he's interested in a 90's or later pin for home use. Reliable/good condition probably matters more than the exact game. (His wife suggested it, so he's looking to grab one before the mood...

'Deadicated' Splatterhouse Upright (my Halloween project this year) So I had a *real* basketcase Defender cab... (melamine 'poofed' out to about 2" thick, ticket dispenser installed, monitor shelf removed and vertical monitor hacked in, control panel with more holes than wood, no less than five...

WTB: Track & Field, upright, non-trackball control panel Thought I had one from a while ago on eBay (was converted to something else, but looked about right). Turned out to be a cocktail panel with a weird/custom inkjet printed overlay. :-/ Any condition is fine-- extra holes, rust, whatever...

Anybody else notice the CPO on this Mario Bros on eBay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/171036295145 I can't quite decide what I'm seeing there-- it's totally missing red. I don't think just the red would fade that completely over time. Maybe a botched repro print? Or a misprint back in the day...

Had to be done. ;-) http://www.multigame.com/dkp_arcade.html -Clay

I'm trying to clean my office and while rearranging a stack of manuals I ran across something I hadn't noticed/seen before... I thought it was Subroc manual, but it appears to actually be a presentation to *sell* Subroc machines. (Basically it's a 1982 Powerpoint presentation. Printed on...

I'm going to be in Phoenix Monday and might have a couple hours to kill-- any local arcades worth a visit? Thanks, -Clay

The Portand Retro Gaming Expo is this week in Portland, OR. Our arcade (Ground Kontrol) will have some vids there in the freeplay arcade. (I think there's 30-40 arcade machines planned to be there in addition to a metric assload of console stuff.) The local Fox station ran a nice little promo...

Hey All, The first 25 Tempest Multigames are ready to go. The list of user names that the first 25 are 'reserved' for follows at the end of this post. All are built and tested and ready to ship at this point. As I promised earlier, the price is the same as my introductory price back in the...

Thought I'd share this since it cracked me up... Ground Kontrol got a nice little article in The Oregonian newspaper today for our "Rock Band Tuesdays" events. Some of you old-timers from RGVAC will remember Anthony Ramos from back in the day... He's one of the other owners at Ground Kontrol...

I'll be including these ("dePROM" ;-) boards with the new SW/ESB kit, but since I have some spares from prototyping I thought I'd offer them here in case anyone needs SW/ESB PROMs and wants to get a 'bonus' while they're at it... In a nutshell, this is just a little board that replaces the four...

Hey all, Posting here since I'm not sure what people read anymore... Here's a cut-n-paste from a RGVAC post I just made: I've been digging through some old Atari goodies and some stuff I found has motivated me to do a new version of the old SW/ESB kit. I had redesigned the hardware a while...
