  1. It's a custom-cut bit of wood, the original was MIA when I got it.
  2. I was lucky enough to secure an empty Space Invaders from the back of A&C Games in Toronto, it wasn't actually for sale, but I managed to convince the owner to pass it on. The catch is, every original part has been removed, and someone's replaced it with a computer that apparently is running a Hyperspin-type system (I haven't tested it as it's supposedly beyond repair). So, I have this huge restoration project ahead, as you can see by these photos below. (Also, I just realised I'm terrible at introducing topics) Front view; about the CP, it's not missing, I removed it. Because, what's a 40 year old bezel without flaking. Speaks for itself, really. Probably the least damaged side. The side that appears to have been through some kind of torture Note to self: Never try to fix a coin slot again. So, what do you think?
  3. Probably was, thought it does sound like it would be the name of an obscure gaming tournament or something, like Video Armageddon.
  4. Hey All, I was browsing my NES collection when I found this odd thing written on the back of my copy of Wild Gunman. I know that names are commonly written on carts, but this appears to be the name of a place, It says "Video Encounters". I'm posting about it because I can't find anything related to games with that name on the internet, local or otherwise, and It's definitely not the name of the store I bought it from. Anyone know if this was for anything? (PS: I know this seems pointless, but I'm just dead curious about it.)
  5. The Stick did come out, and from what I've heard it's your standard Plug and Play, nothing spectacular but gets the job done.
  6. 'If it's not the fastest-moving fun you've ever had, we'll eat our words!'

  7. There's another Lupin III Laserdisc Game? I thought the only one was Stern's Cliff Hanger

      Except they said it in Japanese, so no one could understand them.

      Nintendo has a little over 5000 employees. While people put career ahead of family in Japan, I would think at least 500 of those have kids.

  12. Sweet, You might be on to something with the selectable difficulty levels EDIT: I just remembered that the original Simon had difficulty settings as well, still really cool though
  13. Used to have a PAL Junior, but now I have a light sixer

      Saturday Supercade will return after these messages. (Giant telescope swings around, following UFO)

  15. Found these at the junk shop for $2 a piece Outlaw (Yellow Text Label) Indy 500 (Red Text Label) I read the Rarity Guide and it turns out the Indy 500 is scarce.

      Yeah, mine closed a while back. It's truly a sign of the times.

      sears got screwed in a kmart reversal, the idiots that drove kmart into the ground sucked sears dry too.. They all cashed out.

  17. It's kinda pot luck for me, sometimes I'll do great and play a decent game, but most of the time, I usually don't see past the second board. The only game I'm consistently good at is Donkey Kong.
  18. Happy New Year - and see you in 2018, as this is my last post of the year!

  19. Apparently, Mightymast were sued by Lucasfilm for using sounds from Star Wars, so, I don't know if it's still in production I actually own a Star Galaxy machine, so if you need any info on it, just ask me

  21. Yep, it's the reason I'm on the hunt for Wild Gunman, just so I can own the "Core 3" Zapper Games (Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Wild Gunman)
  22. Thank God my Christmas Holidays start tomorrow.
