ledzep Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The Arcade Expo is making a return to Banning, CA, in 2016 - http://www.arcadeexpo.com/ January 15-17. I'm going to try to make that, last year's expo was fantastic. I can only hope a few games that weren't there last time make an appearance this time. I really want to play Space Firebird again, haven't seen that game in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 http://www.arcadeexpo.com/collection/ I'm not sure when the list was last updated, but I'm dying to play Disc of Tron Environmental and the Tail Gunner II cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Tarzilla Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 January 15, 2016 Added a Gallery of almost all the pics I took today Pictures can't do this justice, even the walkthru videos don't capture the size of this event. Besides the Arcade area and the Pinball area there was a red curtain area with "adult" pinball games. Sexy Girl pinball was hilarious. It was hard to follow the ball when a video screen embedded in the middle of the playfield kept showing naked women Outside there was also a section of mechanical shooting gallery style machines, a stage for live bands and another area with the new Game of Thrones and Walking Dead pinball machines. Saturday is full of panels and events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzep Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think this one was done a little better than last year. A few more arcade games than last time, I was really happy to see Rip-Off, for example. Still no Sega vector games, though, that is very odd. They had a bar set up in the room with the giant Bowl-O-Rama mechanical bowling alley game. And the food was more varied, too. I wish I'd had more time there but I got to play most of the games there that I liked. Hopefully next time there will be a Major Havoc with a roller vs. the Tempest spinner conversion that was there. Still, can't complain, it was wonderful to see all the games and hear them, though I wish they would have had the sound on some games up more. I encourage everyone within driving distance of that place to go the next time they have an expo like that, you won't be sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
