I don't think there's been a thread yet for pics from the show so I thought I'd start one. If anyone else snapped some please add them. Hopefully the group photo will show up soon too.

I wish I could edit the title. It seems I misspelled pictures.

And just a few more. The last couple I borrowed from the pictures bricktop took. I hope you don't mind but I thought they were really nice shots of my games.

All right I found a few more. I just had to include the Night Driver. It originally came from the Fun Forest there at the Seattle Center so it returned to it's childhood home for a few days

The meltdown game was cool.

The computer controls the "radiation shield" (can can see the 2 yellow bars in the middle) which moves up and down. You control the ball (you can see the red ball just behind the joystick) using the joystick and you need to keep the ball in the radation shield. you pretty much control the amount of air is is pushed through the clear tube to control the height of the ball.

Very fun and hard game.

Spooksville was real cool, its basically an EM Varkon if you will.
 
wow.... looks like MELTDOWN is pretty damn rare. found this post from Tripredacus re the game..............

Just a little bump. I got some more info about Meltdown, and why no one seemingly knows about it. Here are some of the facts:

- There were only 50 made
- 46-48 of them were destroyed!
- one person had contacted ICE in the past year or two looking for replacement parts (there were none)

So any existing Meltdown games are extremely rare! I am waiting to hear back some more information about the product so I can add it into the database. When i brought up the question, the guy was like "Oh my god.... Meltdown... let me tell you a story about that."

Their best guess is that the marquee I have is from one of the destroyed unit. I am going to also need to find out if the guy from the blog is also the same guy who called ICE about parts.

Spooksville is mine. It is an EM pinball machine in a "shaker" cabinet. The joysticks are physically attached to the playfield and can be used to move the playfield forward, backwards, left and right. The buttons on the joysticks are the flipper buttons. You are looking at a mirror when playing so the playfield appears to be very steep but in actuality it is only about as steep as a standard pinball machine (seven to eight degrees).


It got the crap played out of it over the weekend and came home with over $7 in quarters and dimes (one coin slot for each) despite being set on free play.

Yes. The owner is a friend and was telling me that story. I believe his was missing the marquee and he get it from Tripredacus (I think).
 
Although I don't believe it's called meltdown there is a modern version of the game. I know my local dave and busters has one. The newer version has a larger area where the ball sits so initially it's a bit easier to keep the ball in the target area. That is until the target area starts moving up and down at different speeds. At that point I think the newer version becomes harder than the original. Played the one at the show and it is a fun challenging game. The new version is actually pretty fun too.
 
Anyone else have any cool shots from the show to share?
I would, but I forgot the camera at home this year, and still rockin the dumb-phone.
