Retrobotics Arcade

[WadeLanham]

Just an illusion. Firefox has its original amplifone Raster, and I robot has its (very dead) disco monitor

I was thinking that would be very out of character for you. From the pic, it looks like it though, right?

I think it's the somewhat reflective bezels in those games.

You did the right thing. But Double Play is fun.

In advance of trying to host that party, I'm trying to spiff up the arcade.

First element in that list: Black light carpet! We got a somewhat smaller one, and we're trialing it out. If we like it, we will get a larger piece and move this one to the other room.

Replaced both big blues in Firefox today. What a pain in the ass. I love the cabinet, but it is DENSE in there. It had been acting up a little bit, and replacing these seems to have helped. Want it in tip top shape.

Also I've been playing with the Lasercutter now that it's getting a little cooler. Making some custom coasters for the arcade...

Star Rider is in position! Without another reorg, this room is full!

Been hard at work cleaning up and restoring games. Lots came in recently, and things are starting to trickle into the game room (and yes, that means reorganization (and expansion!) is in progress!



Above, earlier today, using a compressor to blow out the dust on all these games.
And below, this evening, things finally starting to enter the game room!!



Once I turn the extra Space Duel in the garage into a Black Widow, it will take the spot that Lunar Lander is occupying. And then this row will be pure color vector!



Crystal Castles also gets a spot where its colors can shine!

That blacklight lineup shot gave me so much flashback that I wanted to look outside to make sure my bike was still chained up out there.

My Buddy came by mid august and shot a bunch of photos with his really nice camera of the arcade. He finally got me the photos. Sharing a few of my favorites:

Your space is amazing!

Signs of life from Baby Pac-Man. Things are sticking and coming back to life kicking and screaming, but it's progress. I didn't bother with the MPU, and replaced it with one from Alltek. Thankfully, though the vidiot wasn't working either, the repairs on that one weren't too extreme. The schematics for Baby pac are nice, and definitely came in handy.

And yeah. That monitor needs a damn cap kit.

You might enjoy it. Some people do, some do not

I Do.

I think the mix is interesting.

Mini Walkthrough. I accidentally hit the "Power up everything button" so I took a video.

Baby Pac is in the gameroom!

I'd like to make love to his space. Currently figuring out a way to do so.

Dear Penthouse,
I never thought I'd be writing a letter like this, but…

Williams Row grows larger! Soon it will dominate the entire wall. Finally managed to get Joust 2 into the game room!



And we made the space by squeezing the smallest game in the room (Q*Bert) next to the absolute Largest.



So comically small next to X-Men lol

Where's the Defender or Stargate??
Those are typically the first WMS games to get. LOL

I must admit Blaster has become one of my more favorites in that type of row.

I have a (sorta) Defender. It's in the project queue, and when I get one more Williams game, it will enter the lineup as a Defender, and I'll move Tron and Solar Fox somewhere else. Then, that entire wall will be Williams games.

I haven't yet come across a Stargate at a price I'd bite on.

I'd kill for a Blaster. Not the Duramold one though.

Got an upgrade for the cocktail games today. Came across a facebook ad locally for eight identical read leather stools. Absolutely perfect for cocktail games

Naturally, I jumped on it. Much comfier than the wooden chairs we'd been previously using.
