Forget Jumpman, he’s too passive. Check out what happens when Scorpion from Mortal Kombat fills in for Mario to try and save the princess from Donkey Kong. Oops…maybe he got a little too carried away.

Had a great day today and was finally able to do something other than work. I spent half of my day picking up and setting up my new pinball game – F-14 Tomcat by Williams. Isn’t she a beaut? (More pics after the jump) Read the rest of this entry »

I am pleased to announce the official launch of the newly-redesigned Atlanta Arcades website. Atlanta Arcades is a local business here in Atlanta that sells arcade games, pinball machines, jukeboxes, slot machines, and services/repairs almost all of those items as well. The rest of my website design team and myself have been diligently working on this project over the past couple of months. Now the hard work is over and, I think the site is a success!

The connection was made through Craigslist as an offer to barter website design services in trade for pinball machines or arcade games. Read the rest of this entry »

I opened the September issue of Gameroom Magazine to find a nice little snippet covering an article I wrote about an old Playmeter Magazine article about WICO. I am a subscriber and was shocked to find that my little site got picked up by the “pulse” of the arcade hobby. As a bonus, original author of the PlayMeter article commented on the thread!

If you’re just checking out this site due to the Gameroom mention – welcome! There has been a bit of  dry spell due to RealLife ™ , but things should be under control and regular posts should resume.

Whew. Being a parent of two kids can wear you out. With the birth of my second child in April, my freetime went out the window. I thought I would recover after a few months, but that idea is shot. Not to mention, I won’t be able to work at home and get distracted as easily. Therefore, I’ll be selling most of my project cabinets.

You can check out my posting and prices on craigslist.

This is actually old news, but I was so busy getting prepped for the party that I forgot to mention on the blog that I am now the proud owner of another Nintendo classic – Popeye!

NoCashValue.info has teamed up with GameStencils.com to provide you, the fevered arcade hobbyist, with brand new Gunsmoke artwork for your very own restoration! Brian over at gamestencils has been great to deal with and his products are really top-notch. I know this probably isn’t a product in high-demand, but I love the fact that Game Stencils is willing to step out on a limb and carry some of the more “off-the-wall” and obscure items out there.

I made some VERY cool additions to my post over at coinopspace about my GUNSMOKE restoration. Check it out!

Here’s an update I just sent to the folks on the email list: (if you’re not on the ATL collector email list, just send me an email with your email address and I’ll add you)

The party is still planned for July 25 and will start @ 5:30 PM. I will be providing hamburgers, hotdogs, and some beverages. I know one guest plans on bringing a dessert of some type. If you want to bring something else, great, but not necessary. I will have some alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks on hand, but if you have a preference, please BYOB. I have a full bed in my basement along with an air mattress in the same room in case anyone has too much to drink. If there are too many folks that need a place to crash, I can open up my office that is a few blocks away.

I just added a Wizard of Wor cabaret to the game list and I hope to add Read the rest of this entry »

I am now the proud owner of a Wizard of Wor cabaret from 1981 in great shape. The game is in great cosmetic shape except for the expected wear around the controls, and it is working 100%.
