Games I've been getting addicted to...
Natural Chemist
A little like Tetris and Puyo Pop. Match 3 of the same elements and they transmute into the next highest element... You can join a school of alchemy, compete for rankings, unlock prizes, make new items.
My Brute
Create and customize a fighter. As they earn experience they'll gain levels, weapons, pets, new skills, and other items for use in the fights. The fights are automatic... pick your opponent, sit back and enjoy the fight.
Kado Kado
One of the more addictive areas on the Motion Twin network... a VERY good collection of dozens of different arcade style games that you play for points, rankings, and prizes... including Amazon.com gift certificates. My favorite game on here it Iron Chouquette... a classic vertical shooter that's VERY addictive and very well done.
Hammerfest
Another very addictive game. In the style of Snow Bros. and Bubble Bobble... earn items, power ups, extra lives, extra plays, compete for ranking, and find hidden dimensions and items scattered througout the depths of Hammerfest.
Aplha Bounce
In the style of Arkanoid and Breakout. Travel through the solar system finding power ups, gaining permanent enhancements, completing missions  and gaining ranks. Very fun, if not very frustrating for how addictive it is.

Create a city in the style of SimCity. Have your friends visit your city to increase its population and gain revenues. Use the money you earn to fight polution, crime, and unemployment... all the while earning higher a high ranking.

THERE IS NO FINISH LINE!!! (arcade stuff again)

Okay... so... just when I thought I was getting close... the line got pushed back a little.

I went out yesterday morning... and picked up another one.





Couldn't pass it up! It's not my fault... this nice lady had it for sale for $80! Granted, it needs monitor work and the power sup… Continue

Approaching the finish line (arcade stuff again)

Well, it's been few months of hunting, scraping, wheeling, and dealing.

So far, the list stands at... Tron, Robotron, Empire City, Galaga, Pole Position, Crazy Kong cabaret, Ms Pac-Man cabaret (that means mini!), and Galaxian. I promised myself that when I get my Satan's Hollow I'm done until I find an Environmental Discs of Tron... so I'm cramming everything I can get in before I find that Satan's Hollow machine. So, total count... 8 so far. Machines that are working?... 4. lol But it's all ab… Continue

Saw the Dragonball Movie

Well... I called this many many MANY months ago... yeah, sucked.

I'm not even going to get into the whole "Goku was white?!" thing... if that's your biggest complaint... then you might have an extra chromosome or two. In the story, he's an alien with a monkey tail... seriously, you want to say that he just happens to look Japanese too? Get over it. Honestly, the acting, the story, the whole look of the movie... complete pile. But... Emmy Rossum was in it... which is seriously the only reason I… Continue

More Arcade Games

Well, went out about a week ago and picked up two more projects. These two were on my list of games that I wanted, and I managed to get them both for $100. Very lucky for me in my opinion. I now have a Galaga and Pole Position in my collection... so, the total is up to 5 arcade machines... Tron, Robotron, Crazy Kong, Galaga, and Pole Position... with a set of Defender boards... but no cabinet

Galaga was working when I picked it up, developed some errors when I was moving it... I've traced the e… Continue

Robotron GO!

Well, after doing a little more work on Robotron... it's good to go as far as playing. It took a bit of work since I didn't have the Williams' power supply in the cabinet when I got it... actually, didn't really have anything in the cabinet when I got it... but I lucked out and ended up with everything I needed to make it playable. I lucked out and got the control panel from a friend for pretty cheap... I had to strip it to get to the original holes for the buttons and joysticks... but again, no… Continue

Wishing you a great day.

oh yeah seeing an older cab gutted just really pisses me off. I bought the cab and a complete CPS2 setup with Vampire saviour from a guy on craigslist for 150 flat. Sold the board and bought a sf2 board. Well the monitor was starting to discolor....I tried degausing it, facing it in the right direction, etc. I'm not the soldering type and I know it was probably just a degaussing coil or something but I just didn't wanna mess with it. Funny thing is I sold the monitor and chassis back to the guy I bought the cab from...lol So over all I came out pretty good....I think I only have a couple hundred in everything thats in the cab now.

Well, on the plus side it is a decently high output green laser diode... ONE of these days I'm going to get a good tube and make it so I can change the gas out when I want so i can try different lasing mediums and such...

you know what people like you and I who own arcade machines are? COMMITTED. let alone the fact that they are ungodly heavy, but they also require a very sound understanding of electronics to maintain and repair, something that not a lot of "geeks"...

I knew there was a reason why I don't frequent game arcades. XD
