Last weekend saw the last of my games being dispersed to the winds.
Sold my co-worker a multicade in a Zaxxon cab that I got for $45 a long time ago. Same price. Figured it made sense.
Had a lot of fun, but also let the hobby get completely out-of-whack with real-world priorities. I think that scrapping of 100 games from the waterlogged trailers really was a bad idea in the long run. There were other more important things that I should have been doing.
Still, I have few regrets and lots of good friends that were made along the way.
I saved a few PCBs, some basic test equipment, and a 19" WGD9950 tri-sync. Maybe someday I'll build a mini out of it. For now, just focusing on the things that got neglected along the way, as well as seeking out new things to play and do. Hitting 50 and realizing that I'm in my last "trimester" of life really made me think. Instead of playing the same games, watching the same shows, listening to the same music; why not do different things? Tempest is amazing, but there are a host of games that I've never taken the time to enjoy and with no machines to maintain,.... well..... that's more time to actually do stuff.
The KLOV community has been great. Looking forward to getting back into the forums.
