    Overpriced Pac-Man found at an estate sale today.

    What kind of warranty do you get for a "wood box"? No termites?

    Games you have owned more than once in your arcade tenure.

    Pole Position (2), Pac Man (2), Ms. Pac Man (2), Zaxxon (2), Gorgar pin (2), Hydro Thunder (3), Cruis'n USA (3), Tempest (7)... wow.

    Estate planning and collection

    When I die, my wife plans to put the games out by the street and post a Craigslist Curb Alert for free games. It may be the happiest day of her life!

    Groan...#Dad Jokes...Arcade Edition - Post your best one here!

    I just found out my favorite arcade game used Christian music from the 1800s Finland in the background. Yeah. Mortal Kombat used Finnish Hymns. My neighbor claims to have a large collection of classic arcade games but I think it's just a case of 1UPmanship. A former cartoonist was put to...

    Rarest Part You Own But Will Never Use...

    I have a complete Astro Blaster kit (artwork, CP, marquee, PCB stack, etc.). Just missing the cabinet. Not sure if the PCB stack works.

    OPINION: Unlike games that work well as "thematic/complimentary pairs"?

    Star Castle and Armor Attack. Space and Tanks collide with the near same cabinet, PCB and monitor. Mr. Do, Zig Zag, and Dig Dug. Same digging theme. Crystal Castles and Tempest. Similar cut cabinets with smoke glass.

    Sheena Easton 1983 Music Video

    We'll at least Sheena did not toss the Sinistar. No Craigslist back then.... Curb alert! One Defender with typical dents and dings.

    I got ripped off today.

    I'm not sure how you live with yourself. Must have been a moment of weakness. Congratulations!

    What would YOU do.

    Lots of good ideas. I'm maxed out too and like the games too much to sell. My strategy was to build a long, waterproof shed on the side of the house for now with the ultimate goal of building a new conditioned playable space on another lot a couple years from now. If you need to...

    Rarest Part You Own But Will Never Use...

    I have two Big Buck HD guns. They look brand new. I don't expect to get this game anytime soon.

    What's The LAST GAME In Your Arcade That You PLAYED?

    Mortal Kombat II. I added a subwoofer. Very cool.

    POLL : To Hoard or not to Hoard

    I have about six Pacman boards. Some have different rom sets, a couple are broken. I have a number of other PCBs waiting for the basket case cabinet to come along. It often turns out if I find a cabinet, it already has the parts I anticipated I'd need. I think there are a few games I'll...

    POLL: To bolt down or not bolt down…

    I bought a Cruis'n USA that had the monitor bolted down, but I did not notice the monitor chassis only had one screw holding it down to the frame. The chassis shifted on a rough road (game was standing upright) and shorted when we turned the game on. Fortunately, it was an easy fix. Now I check.

    What is the most frustrating thing about the hobby? 🤬

    For me the most frustrating thing is the lack of space and not enough time to work on the games!

    Outta the blue.........

    I told my wife I'd like to be buried in my Robotron cabinet. Hopefully it has a better paint job on it than it does now. My wife says that when I go, there will be a big "free games" ad in Craigslist. She'll say "bye-bye" to me and everything else with a big smile on her face!

    Worst arcade game ever made???

    My very first arcade game was 1977 Atari Pool Shark. It's not really playing pool. It was pushing the balls around into the pockets of the pool table. Here is a video:

    Popeye vs. Donkey Kong

    I find DK to be really hard. I've always liked Popeye and would love to have one again. Many years ago, I converted a Berzerk to a Popeye, but I left it so it was an easy conversion back.
