Arcade Lifestyle / Gozer5454 retires
« on: January 10, 2013, 10:17:55 AM »
I know it´s been a while now (24-12-2012) and i was quite shocked when i read that he quitted the hobby 
I dont know how many of you knew him, but I wrote with him a couple of times with some questions regarding Google Sketchup - if you havent tried it yet, theres no excuse not to do it now! LINK
Luckily he saved the best for last, when he created this, a small video showing off the stuff he made in GS, I just dloaded it and planning to play it in The Shed when i get the chance! - Grap the MP4 here

Arcade Lifestyle / The Shed slowly but surely up and running again..
« on: January 06, 2013, 10:30:42 PM »
I spend the entire weekend moving stuff from The Shed that wasent arcade related, not everything is gone -yet- but its a start. I also moved 3 machines in storage, Battle Shark, Lunar Lander and Q*berts Qubes are now save in +18 degrees withe the Grand Champion Cockpit and Star Wars Cockpit.
The remaining machines was rearanged, and powered up
First up for fixing was Vs. Super Mario Bros.
Ordered an updated chip to replace the chip in socket 1D/6D so now it runs the attract screen AND has a highscore save feature!!! Übersweet, and a lot better looking than the old "select player" freeplay attract screen...
-Update-
Next up today was Donkey Kong 3.
Had a few games on it when i came home from work, the first ten games the score was in the 100 to 1500 area, i really sucked at it, but then i finally cleared the first stage - and was hooked, its genuine a really fun game!!! - one thing that irritated me was the joystick, it was hard as hell to move arround, so after dinner, i took it apart, cleaned and lubicated it and put it back together... Then i had some games after the fix, and now it was smooth and even funnier. Snapped a few pics..

Arcade Lifestyle / Decoration for The Shed??
« on: October 10, 2012, 05:58:17 PM »
Learning from earlier experiences, i let the majority decide this time...
I just got my fingers in this old B/W 21" TV, so now is the question... keep it as it is, or turn it into a monitor...:

« on: September 27, 2012, 08:57:56 PM »
Have been in DK for 2 and a half month now, and we have been quite busy (!)
But tonight i had a chance of moving some of the arcades around, and had a fun hour out there!!!
That said, there´s still alot of stuff out there that dosent belong there!!!!
Only 2 machines where on, + the light in the bar and music (and a Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier!!! mom mom mom)
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but it´s the thought that counts!
