Let's have a standing ovation, for arcade gaming's "Jerry Bruckheimer"... If Shigeru Miyamoto is gaming's equivalent of Walt Disney, then Yu Suzuki is surely gaming's Jerry Bruckheimer. He was responsible for those big, loud fun Sega hits in the arcade in the 1980s, like AfterBurner II and...

Anyone here know much about the "Time Travel Warehouse" story? I know it may be "old news" to some, but I only read about the TTW this week, when I saw this UK ebay listing for some NIB Robotron cocktails. I blogged about it here, and then wondered if any Klovvers could tell me more about the...

I found a 4 player Deluxe setup in Sydney, I know there's one in London's Trocadero, but I was wondering if it had shown up in the U.S. yet? Short summary: Great fun! Looks amazing! My only regret when playing Sega Rally 3 was.. on the afternoon I found it, my time was limited & I couldn't...

Hello, I blogged about these cool <u>classic arcade socks</u> the other day, and a few Northern Hemisphere gamers expressed some interest in them. As far as I can tell - they're only available for sale in Australia. (Tell me if I'm wrong... but I haven't found them online anywhere else)...

Hi guys, I'm an Aussie (as in Australia - the big place on the bottom half of your map, not the snowy place in Europe), and for a long time I've lurked, lusting after all the nice games 'n' cabs for sale in your forums. Sadly, I didn't "buy up" a few months ago when the Aussie dollar was...
