Evan's custom Futurama pinball machine backbox
Pinball is great. Futurama is great. Home-built projects are great. Combine all three and you get a really cool result!

I just found-out about a show that PBS produced called The Video Game Revolution which chronicles the history of video games all the back to their basic roots in the 1960s.

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!

We’re now live!

by @ 5:28 pm. Filed under Pinball, micsaund.com

The old geocities page has been updated with a message about moving to this new site, so hopefully there will be a few people lurking around here pretty soon to let me know if things are working :)

The Indiana Jones pinball section of the site is on the list for some renovating now that I've got things coverted-over. The info is the same as the geocities page (with one update for Luc ;) ) but I intend to go-through the info and update things in the near future too (for example, to reflect that Williams is no longer in the pinball business).
