Biggest Cinematronics Arcade Game Collection – Downsized

Last month there was a post on RGVAC from Rich Potts, who owned one of the biggest (if not THE largest) collection of Cinematronics games. He is selling off a chunk of his collection, 15 Cinematronics games in total – but that isn’t everything. Can you guess how many he had in all?

Bazooka trumps sniper rifle

Any day of the week, at least in my mind. Ever seen an arcade game with a Bazooka for the control? Consider yourself edu-macated.

Picked up a new pinball from Spain.

Just drove right over, 80 hours one way, car is still a little water logged. All in a day’s work to pick up a New World pinball by Playmatic.

Time Pilot ’84 overlays update

For those arcade collectors who followed a couple of my posts on the contract job I got to reproduce the control panel artwork for Time Pilot ’84, I wanted to give you a quick update on where that stands.

A Road Blasters cabinet that doubled as a shop sponge

I’ve been swamped, with a major project that takes 12-14 hours on average every day of the week. I hope to turn a corner on that soon. Now that summer is here, it appears that some arcade movement has started – that first movement might be more of a body shaking shutter, but every other game looks uphill from here.

That wacky boxing glove frog makes another appearance

In late 2008 I shared some photos of a Maze Man cocktail arcade game. One of many Pac-man bootlegs or knockoffs, I never guessed that they would have also made an upright machine as well. Check out the photo after the jump.

Crowdsourcing the castle

Stop and think, what would a crowdsourced castle look like? A moat made of lime jello and Gouda? A tower overhang for bungee jumping? Alas, you know I am not speaking about an actual castle, but Star Castle artwork – namely the sideart. I believe I have found some significant differences in distinct printed pieces of sideart and I need your help to figure it out.
