Galaxian Theater / Re: Galaxian3 and zolgear preserved by dumping union.
« Last post by starlord on April 20, 2024, 09:57:18 PM »
@darthnuno: now enjoying zolgear is bound to happen for all someday. The most important is the hardware has been preserved and will allow for this sooner or later.

This chapter is now closed with a pleasant conclusion.

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...

Snaaaap! I saw that as well. :shock:

Also pretty wild that they apparently almost got a newer rev of Project Dragoon as well, but missing a rom.

Galaxian Theater / Galaxian 3: Attack of the Zolgear in Nashua NH is being repaired!
« Last post by Framed_Niner on March 24, 2024, 09:18:55 PM »
I frequently visit Funworld in Nashua, NH. They have a Galaxian 3 that shows Attack of the Zolgear, but it had a tarp over it and was non functional. Recently, the tarp was removed. I asked about it, and they stated that some technicians have been trying to fix the game. Here?s hoping they succeed.

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.

All the rest / Old german books
« Last post by Belike on March 23, 2024, 09:50:24 AM »
Completely off-topic subject. I have quite a few old German books, most of them literary works (Goethe, Schiller, Freytag, Stilgebauer, etc.), that I no longer need. Is there perhaps someone among my German friends who could have someone in their circle appreciate the value of these based on photographs?

Yes, qualifying Friday, you?re only allowed to play till L3-4
You can of course point press when ever you like, and kill your man of and play a level again to maximise your score.
The best player will play against the one with the lowest score on Saturday: 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 and so on

Galaxian Theater / Galaxian3 and zolgear preserved by dumping union.
« Last post by starlord on March 21, 2024, 10:19:57 PM »
Hey all.

Superlative news: the dumping union has dumped and imaged the roms and laser disks of both galaxian3 and attack of the zolgear. The dumps are currently being uploaded to the internet archive and Phil should have upcoming news.

While emulation of this beast might not be close term, at least we can take comfort that both games are preserved now.
