Classic Arcade Games
First Pengo overlay installed
The control panel overlay on the first Pengo I owned was still in decent shape, but with enough blemish that I went ahead and prepped the artwork for screenprint. But, then in the year they got printed I picked up an even better Pengo in Missouri and I no longer needed a brand new overlay. As a result, it looks like Bill J. was the first to install my artwork on a restored cabinet. (more…)
Another poor converted Midway Mappy
It is a given, when you see a converted Mappy / Jr. Pac-man, the header is sawed off. I don’t know why, but I just love these cabinets because they are so distinct, so I can’t help but share when I find a new one. This time, Chris sent me this Craigslist ad for a Mortal ‘Combat’ 🙂 Mappy conversion for only $350 LOL. (more…)
Super Pac-man for $75 Muskegon Craigslist
Over the weekend I was in my hometown in Michigan for my nephew’s first birthday. The deals lately on Craigslist have been stupid crazy, so I actually have not been following other neighboring states as much – for good reason. But it just so happened there was a Super Pac-man for $75 in Muskegon the weekend I was home! Wow, talk about timing. (more…)
NOS Pole Position II Sideart
A resourceful DJ / collector out in Fredericksburg, VA has quite the amazing photo album of arcade stuff. Many games, parts, and pieces of artwork have cycled through his hands. This past week it was a set of NOS Pole Position II sideart that sold almost immediately. (more…)
Mike Doyle’s Pepsi HUO Pengo from 2003
I’m into Pengo? Shocker. Back in January I was poking through old RGVAC archives and came across Mike Doyle’s post on the HUO Pengo that a buddy found in someone’s basement. At the time the game was being traded / sold he posted some photos, showing the promotional sign that came with it – which was really what I wanted to see. Those photos were a casualty of AOL Homespaces, but this weekend Mike was able to pull those photos off an old hard drive and I had to share this story again. (more…)
Time Pilot debuts at the fall Indianapolis game party
The last weekend in August ushered in another game party at Brad’s, and although he is on the verge of being out of space, he still managed to pick up one new game since the last time I was over – Time Pilot. (more…)
Flutter me this – Vinyl Joust Sideart?
Anthony forwarded me this image of a piece of vinyl Joust sideart. There is no copyright, but the artwork looks just like the original game…which was stenciled. It seems like I’ve seen this before, but can’t remember where. (more…)
