A retro Ms. Pac Man scratch-off game card
I had totally forgotten about these, but the second I saw it, it all came rushing back. I remember getting these scratch-off "video games" from places like McDonald's when I was a kid in the 80s.

Professionally built computerized coffee table
If you've fought the battle with your significant other over having a computer in the living room, this might be your answer. Built into a nice-looking coffee table, this computer lets you play MAME, games, movies, music and more without the beige box.

Here's a pretty cool idea - take time lapse photos of arcade games while they are in motion. The results are pretty cool.

Call to arms – first tech-support post on the forums!

by @ 9:43 pm. Filed under Arcade Video, Pinball

Well, I must admit that the response to my forums (and site in general) has been even weaker than I was expecting :(

Tonight, after about a week online, we got our first post (from Mrs. Peel) regarding a Choose Wisely mode problem. I have no idea what is going on with that problem, so I need to call-in you other collectors and get this thing rolling!

Let's get some DIY electronics/hardware-hack things posted too. I know how much everyone in the pinball circles loves enhancing things and working-around poorly-designed gizmos in our machines! I chose a fully-featured forum system which should be easy to use to post technical write-ups/etc., but please let me know if I need to enable something or make a change to make it more useful.

And, as a final reminder, the forums are NOT just for Indiana Jones - please, chat about any game and remember there are arcade-video forums too!
