If I can manage to get off my fat butt and pick up Sinistar, that would be new news....but I havent :-)
I should be shortly though, im getting a new job in 3 weeks and I will be supplied with a co. pick up, so I will have the means to transport safely besides laying them down inside one of my Jeeps.
The baby is doing great, getting in her groove , so to speak. The arcade has been abandonded since she was born. So what still works is anyones guess.

A little bit of background on my hobby...
| Going back to the 70s...... |
|
|
| my video game habit started here in a Woolco |
I grew up in the 70's - 80's and thats how I got my love for classic arcade games. My first exposure to the games was at a local theater that was long torn down(Oakwood Cinema) There they had a few grown up games, I called them that because I didnt understand them being a little kid. I remeber two games from then, one was Lunar Lander and Gun Fight. I could understand Gunfight, but there was always a long line of tall skinny hippy guys waiting to play.
I was able to play Asteroids at a family smorgasbord where there was no teenagers waiting to play. I was really hooked then. A few years later I got a Mongoose for Christmas and it was on then! There was a great arcade close to my apartment in New Orleans called Funland. It had alot of classics that I loved, Night Driver, Stunt Cycle, Astro Blaster, Gorf, Tron, all the heavy hitters. There was loud blarring 80's music in the background and smoking,drinking and eating was still allowed in the arcades. All I did was mostly eat nachos in a empty Star Fire sit down during lunch and went on to play some mo!.
I lost all intrest in games around 1985, thats when girls and beer and other things that corrupt the mind became more important. It wasnt until the Playstation came out that I got reinvolved in games again, but not arcade games. All they have now is fighting, gold, sports, trivia or driving games. I actually like the driving games, that is definitely a genre that has really improved since Night Driver. But the rest, you can keep. Only the old classics really intrest me, but im willing to bend. :-) The games that came out when I was not intrested in them are the ones I like too, like Superman, Arkanoid, Cyberball and such.
Well now I finally was able to afford and house my dream games and I want to share that with other collectors or others that the hobby sparks a intrest in.
Hope ya enjoy it!
