Hope you didn't forgot that 3 of them are waiting here for pickup 

and I myself have a Cosmic Guerilla. Anything left for trade?

Hello folks and arcade lovers...

another weekend passed...another usually roadtrip.

While I picked up that lovely vintage car during the week nearby Düsseldorf:


time for another journey to the far east - behind the curtain 
This time a van will be needed.

Anybody wants to join? Lucy - this time?


"Wuff...Wuff...Sorry - I still have a bad back - and if I hadn't I have other tasks anyway (need to bring back these VHS tapes to the rental shop)..."

*paah*...one day you will need me and then I will have no time 

So again - a lonely wolf on the street following the german Autobahn all way northeast to the first location:



Coming closer...

First stop. Computerspielemuseum Berlin.



I visit the guys every now and then...lending some of my stuff...and more. And this time I needed to pick up something for someone....and they invited me to look after their new "arcade section".



"Ooops - wrong picture"  (did someone asked for Tits?)



of course these belong to famous Lara...to the left more vintage...to the right the modern younger style. Guess which is better? At least they both have guns 

So - let's take a look at the "Arcade":







Not too bad if you want my opinion. At least they tried to make it a way more 80's than just setting up the cabinets somewhere else in the "museum". Although still some MAME machines but you get the impression.

So why did I came here for?



Arcade Porn. NOT.

First of all - in the attic - one of my pinball machines is left from a former exhibition:



Yet another Pac-Man franchise 
(unfortunately no one was able to help, so will be picked up next time)

but more important an US artist dropped off one of her works for me during her last visit to Berlin. A gift for a friend (guess who? and if you know him - don't tell please):


A lovely Atari 800 painted oil on wood.

If you are interested in her other works take a look over here:

Still waiting for my other paintings to arrive (well - it's art and takes time) but that one came in time for birthday.

Unfortunately no time for more sightseeing (but hence I lived in Berlin 2 years already I have seen it all) - so back on the road with some lunch and coffee....time to go way further north.



Whats this? are we coming closer to the Dutch border?

NOT.


It's a gang of 20 small german "cars" on a weekend trip. Tiny Micro Machines 

After 2 more hours....coming closer:



Seems to be an arcade collector of this forum 

"Hello - I heard you have a Hogan's Ally Nintendo VS system?".



After some nice talks and exchanging memories from my last visit, the cabinet went into the car.

Back on the road again...another 5 hours to the west...way back to more populated germany (only windmills in this area)



Weather condition were very nice (well bad for a roadtrip) so I decided to take a small nap at the lovely beach side of Boltenhagen:



and after another 2 hours and some traffic jams - arrived safetly with the sundown at my storage #1:



Anybody asked for Guns?

That's all folks for a day.

With 10 hours roundtrip, 1200 km, 7 different german counties(districts), 30 degrees temperature and over a hundred killed insects  - this roadtrip is officially over.
