I was at this arcade last week, they are currently trying to repair it. Here's hoping it works when the arcade opens up tomorrow.

Many thanks for the update  :)
Please let us know if any progress done.
As you can see, it's been a looooong time this Galaxian3 is out of order...

Thanks for the notification.  :spaceace:

I a near future, I hope everyone will enjoy Zolgear, which was never released on any other system than the arcade version.

This is a really sad new  :'(
I have very good memories with him during the various arcade meetings, especially at the 2014 Eurocade.
My condolences to his family and his friends.
RIP  :'(

And among all the beautiful things to see in Las Vegas & around, let's try to see what is being done on the 'mainstream arcade level',  16 years after this first topic!  8)

Not for far from the strip, a place called Area 15 :



Some classics, here and there inside the building...





...but also a 'true' arcade bar on two levels (upstair for adults, downstair for everyone) :









On the strip, there is a 'Stranger Things' exhibition (close to the M&Ms store), with several rooms, and one of them is a mini arcade game room :



At the entrance of the MGM casino, a small game room with 20 games... but no real classic :



Inside the Circus Circus, in the middle of the park you can find a couple of games...





An other game room at the Hard Rock casino/hotel... no classic or so, like most of places here now ...







OK, this is by far the most interresting place to go for people like us ... the Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame Pinball Museum  :-*



A couple of old friends (games I owned)  8) :







What the hell? I cannot be something else than a generic cabinet equipped with the official Ultracade kit released during the 20th DL anniversary era...  :arrow:



some other interessting ones :





















Impossible to miss it, follow the sign  8)  :arrow:



OK, better than pictures, here a video walkthrough I filmed the 1st of January 2024, right before going to the airport :

Fast forward...
- found the 2 missing 'Atari logo' Joysticks, fully rebuilt
- redone an entire harness loom
- restored the 4 doors
- found new TV monitor with exact specs that fits 100% the original monitor bezel (I'm lucky on that)
- setup a dedicated raspberry + Pi2Scart configuration to boot & run Gauntlet exclusively, software used is pinHP Arcade distrib, giving a beautiful RGB picture running at a native 60Hz frequence as it should be  :-*

Now, game on  :-*  :arrow:

'business' as usual  8)...











Even though I bought a kit that includes that GL 'one' sticker, I'll check if the original GL sticker underneath that GL 'two' sticker is still usable  :arrow:



Removing this sticker was a nightmare. I couldn't remove more than one square centimetre at a time...  It was always tearing  >:( ... I had to spend  5 or 6 times x 1 hour to be able to remove it entirely! ... My fingernails still hurt  :ghost:



But it was worth it. The sticker is in excellent condition  :)  :arrow:

Let's start with the control panel... damaged by an operator conversion...  :-\  :arrow:



It's a battlefield under it : custom wiring, additional holes... and missing two of the four 'Atari logo' joysticks  :-\



Curious to see the condition of the original CPO under this Gauntlet II CPO :



Either way, even if it had been in good condition, the extra holes that were drilled would prevent me from using it as such  :(  :arrow:



Ok, let's take it all out, and fill the holes in that metal CP... (no, this is not bubblegum  ;D)



Done :



Got the full set of Gauntlet artworks... all these colors...so gorgeous  :-*



This Gauntlet CP artwork is one of my favorite one!  :pac: :arrow:
