Pac-Man Returns This Fall In Another Pac-Man Game That's Not Pac-Man
"If you, like me, are the sort of person that instantly begins to worry when the first image you see of a new Pac-Man game is not a dot-filled maze, then... yeah. Coming this fall from Namco Bandai, it's Pac-Man and Ghostly Adventures."

'Business' Area : Buy/Sell/Trade / [for sale] Sega Astro Blaster project
« on: February 17, 2013, 02:43:05 PM »"Fighter pilots needed in sector wars, play Astro Blaster!"
I'm doing some trimming again, so here's another cab that needs a new home.
It's a Sega Astro Blaster, the rarer teal/aqua coloured one (which I personally thinks looks better than the blue one).
It seems complete, PCB and cage are in there, etc. But it's sold as non-working/untested. From what I can remember it powers up but nothing happens, it may be something as simple as a fuse, it may be the PCB, I don't know. It's basically been in storage since I got it, and there is no power there.
Game is located in Brussels, Belgium.
Looking for €250.
Here's a video of what you can look forward to once it's up and running: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C6k-nqJ-I0

Arcade Lifestyle / Amusement World Meteors, an Asteroids clone
« on: December 24, 2012, 09:22:52 AM »
Not to be confused with Meteor:
In 1979, Atari made Asteroids... But, in 1981, Amusement World produced Meteors - a clone of Asteroids. This lead to Amusement World getting sued. When the case went to court, the judge sided with Amusement world. This landmark case ruled that you cannot copyright a genre of game.
Stephen Holniker, CEO of Amusement World passed away in October, 2012.
After 30 years, Eric Holniker, his son uncovered the actual Meteors arcade.
