We all know the list of popular 80's arcade games that EVERYBODY plays.....But what are some of the GOOD underappreciated games that are actually really good games , but seem to be overlooked and forgotten .
I've thought about this ever since I saw Irate Gamer's video series on what he calls the Silver Age of gaming. I find outside of arcade groups, there is little to no knowledge of the pre-Space Invaders era being known as the Bronze Age. Also, IG is pretty much the only source that I've...

OnionSoft has scanned over a decade worth of Game Machine Magazine, a publication released in Japan that covered the Japanese arcade scene from an operators perspective.
The scans are a very interesting look into the Japanese arcade scene from 1974 to 1988...

What is the coolest high end hidden arcade design that you would be proud to have in your living room and that your wife/GF would be happy with too!
Dining table?
Bar cart?
Coffee table?
Thoughts? Pictures?
I have noticed more than few people leaving the hobby and selling collections. I have seen more than a few for sale threads lately where collectors are selling all parts and PCBS.
Is this just normal turn over and attrition, or is the hobby aging out and changing. I am sure prices going up 2x...
I saw a karate champ on kijiji at the beginning of the summer for $300 playing blind....I didn't pull the trigger due to having too many projects at the time....it haunts me...I should have bought it.
As I don't recall ever hearing any discussion about Williams talking about a third game in the Defender series, I find myself wondering what it could have been.
Defender was, well Defender. Stargate was Defender, but harder and with an added Stargate. I wonder if Williams would have given the...
Hi,
I have been working on a Zaxxon project for quite some time now and have finally got it to about 90%.
The problem I am having is minor but none the less needs to go away. I have attached two pictures and one video of the defect. My assumption is that there is a bad ROM that contains the...
Is there a list somewhere of specific models of TVs to be on the lookout for? I know the tubes aren't necessarily the same within a specific brand or whatever, but what should I be looking for vs avoiding if I'm trying to find good tubes for a swap? As I post this I see there's a thread about...
Hey guys,
I have the following three bootlegs labeled as:
Birdie King 2
Gigas
Super Stingray
And an original Zaxxon!
I wanted to tackle them in repairs but decided that it will never happen. I know the Zaxxon was missing a 2532 that I replaced and it is certainly missing some caps in the...
Looks like a good time - happened earlier this week in Italy.

We could never do this in the UK due to our unpredictable weather - does anything like this ever happen in the US?
This has been driving me nuts, what was this cabinet before Mr Do's Castle? I thought it was a Journey but the bottom part does not match.
Thanks!
