  1. My advice - visit the Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL - 705 arcade games on the floor from the 70s to the 2010s. It's the best place to go if you're a longtime arcade junkie.
  2. Well I wanted to do mazes based on the arcade PROTOTYPE of Wizard of Wor - Invisible Monsters....alas, easier said than done...due to the maze being shrunken...
  3. Yes that is Super Galaxian, and there's a second formation with EIGHT flagships, and Escorts would materialize outta thin air with them even if you blasted all of them away.
  4. You can find a bunch of these on that 60 in 1 board - or Galloping Ghost Arcade or Underground Retrocade.
  5. Play the Super Galaxian ROMs and you'll think the "very hard" version is a cakewalk...
  6. Youtuber John Riggs posted this video today of a proto discovery --
  7. I thought the PAL version was the contest version....
  8. Tempest got this review up in a hurry... http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/dumbo/04483.htm
  9. Gee, I must had hit the lottery when I encountered him having never been to Dallas...
  10. I couldn't disagree more. eSports is growing like crazy and I didn't actually take up score chasing until the last few years. And I don't see myself as a freak in any way shape or form, the ones who call us freaks to me are nothing more than severely technology challenged old geezers who long for the days of the manual typewriter and rotary phone.
  11. His goal was to redo the scores they claim were fabricated. Ahem - I watched KOK over the weekend for the very first time. No mention of an 8-way joystick. It was ALL ABOUT who sent him the PCB, and Mitchell had a deep personal feud going with Roy Schlidt. However the two guys who barged into his house are lucky they weren't arrested. And they should had been at the least had a stern talking to by Redmond PD.
  12. Who in bloody hell do you think you are ? I have to submit video for EVERY score I submit at GGA, so shove the attitude bud.

  14. There is an arcade in Quincy Place Mall in Ottumwa, IA. http://ottumwaoldschoolarcade.com/
  15. Galloping Ghost DOES NOT have Invisible Monsters. It was bought by the Strong Museum in New York.
  16. Galloping Ghost Arcade is the biggest one in the country. You need two full days in there for a first time visitor to get the full effect. Saturday is the busiest day, but during the week it's far less crowded. I go there every couple months. Highly recommended. GGA's Protos are flagged as protos on the marquees. Chimera Beast is another rare proto...
  17. I thought I was reading an April Fools joke....CURLING??? Dang.
  18. Well there's questions about what is actually on things - There's the Pandora's Box 5 and the Pandora's KEY 5s. I've only seen the 1299 in 1 Pandora's Box 5S available in only a console unit.
