This weekend kid had an event at the Ice Box Arcade in Fremont which meant we got to tag along a play a bunch of classic pinball tables and arcade cabinets for free. Definitely the best way to sample a bunch of different games (since the staff used their keys to add credits to all the machines), even when you’re bad at them. I’m glad we didn’t have to manage quarters!

I was especially excited to play Raiden II, which I knew would be very similar to the Raiden DX cabinet I used to play at Laserport laser tag in St. Louis Park, MN.

From their full games list I also played Dr. Mario and he beat me in a quick round of Street Fighter II (which as a kid I mostly played on SNES). I lost track of how many of their pinball list I played but it covered the range from weird 1980 fantasy vibes with no ramps to modern franchise video pinball for Avengers and The Mandalorian.

I really liked the classic tables for not having complicated quests and such, though I also played so much Crystal Caliburn on our Performa 6115CD back in the day, trying to gather all 12 knights.

Anyway pinball is fun, I love that there’s a pretty good scene in Seattle, and someday I want to own a TNG machine.

Golden Axe Arcade flyer. It says 'put the magic back into your business' within a dragon breathing flames. There's also a few stills of the game and a paragraph or two about it. SEGA!

Was recently able to pick up a transformer assembly for the KRULL Restoration. It weighs about 25lbs. This is not from a KRULL but from either a Q-Bert or Three Stooges cabinet, which used the same assembly. Slowly coming together though I have a very long way to go. Hope to work on it after the holidays.

The very beat up KRULL cabinet in my garage. Was able to remove paint to reveal beautiful inlay artwork (showing a sinister pair of eyes)  and was able to obtain an original marquee.The transformer assembly sitting on my workbench.

A little KRULL update. I've decided to restore it. Removed paint on inside of cabinet to reveal some of that beautiful artwork. I've also sourced out where I can get many of the parts I need. Original parts are hard to come by, but I met a person who does 1:1 reproductions of the harness and boards. If I can't go original, I may take this fellow up. Some Q-Bert parts are compatible, so I may take that route, too. We shall see.

Picking this up tomorrow. Free! Looks to be a conversion. Though it's running Tetris, it appears to have once been a KRULL (yes, based on the movie). Not sure what I will do with it. May strip it for parts, which are always hard to come by. We'll see. #arcade #ClassicArcade #ArcadeRestore #KrullRestore

Sold my first arcade game yesterday, a Pac-Man, to a fellow looking to get back into competitive gaming. And get this, he is the 11th person in the world to achieve a perfect score in the original arcade version of Pac-Man. Cool!

I might be the only one who hadn't heard of the Galaga "no-fire" cheat, but here we go anyway.

206,050. My Joust high score. I'm the 2nd best Jouster in Eugene... at Blair Alley Barcade, at least. (Someone with the initials DRI has the top score.) Took me 40 years. See, kids-- hard work pays off. #retrogaming #classicarcade #joust #pnw #oregon

Sad to admit, but I think this is my all-time #pacman high score. (I don't play it much. I'm more of a Joust, Time Pilot, Pooyan kind of guy.) #retropie #wolfanoz #retrogaming #classicarcade #xarcade #geek #genx

@LordArse I love Phoenix. Still very playable. There was an Atari 2600 rip-off by Imagic that I enjoyed, too, called Demon Attack. #retrogaming #atari2600 #classicarcade #arcadegames
