Classic Arcade Games
Factory dedicated original Mr. Do Run Run’s?
That was the question posed in 2004 by a collector. He claimed to own a factory dedicated Mr. Do Run Run, up to that point everyone assumed that Run Run only came as a kit. Fast forward to today, and someone else is claiming they have a non conversion Mr. Do Run Run, and this time there are photos. (more…)
Fixed the Tunnel Hunt arcade game
‘Fixed’ might be a loose term. I did a couple of things to the power supply and to the main pcb and the Tunnel Hunt I picked up a week ago off of Craigslist works just fine. It’s an interesting game, if you haven’t played it in person you really should at least try it. (more…)
Sold the Pac-man, Space Invaders and Ms. Pac-man
Posted last night a Pac-man and Space Invaders were delivered to the house. This morning everything went according to plan, a newer collector out of Cincinnati area Ohio came over and bought both of them and my Ms. Pac-man, barely fitting all three in the back of a F-150.

One of the 3-4 HUO Pengo’s is up for sale
Not mine. I doubt I’ll ever have to worry about needing to sell off my HUO Pengo to pay for a bike. The nice thing about a HUO game is that it retains its value better during a down market. Where the average user might only be able to sell a beat up Pengo today for $200, Bill might be able to sell this Pengo for his asking price of $700-$800. (more…)
