THE ROADTRIP OF THE CENTURY REVEALED - LOOK FORWARD FOR HUNDRETS OF PICS

[level42]

Don't worry, it will be a while before you reach....11344 

[ckong]

If all members here pay up some money, can we get bigger sized pictures and unlimited ?

I would be totally up for that. I hate having to resize the images and I also hate using third-party picture hosting sites because they are here today but maybe gone tomorrow........

Bad idea IMO. I already pay a few bucks for my photobucket account, so I can use the pics all over the internet. And I don't like huge pictures where you keep scrolling up and down and from left to right to see the whole picture.

@synonym9, there is nothing bad about being a top poster.  

[mumboking]

please tell me how to post a link in the way that the image appears.

Photobucket gives you img code for each picture. Looks something like this:

Code: [Select]

[IMG]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Screenies/MyUbuntuDesktop.png[/IMG]Just paste that code into the post and the image will be embedded in the post.

Still wonder what means top poster, is that something bad?

Nothing bad, it just means you've posted more than other people have.

I also have a photobucket account, just copy and paste the IMG link and you will be allright. But don't forget to resize. 

Or you could use the img thumb code... Looks something like this:

Code: [Select]

thanks Ckong and Mumboking.

By the way, the newest finds encouraged me to believe that the Ireland Atari Laserdisc-cabinets are originally Dragons Lair´s that has been converted to Space Aces later...I think about to convert my one (the one I keep) back to what it was when it came from the factory.





I also found that, which has no relevance to the Space Ace-topic:



(I went with the IMG-link, I hope it works now)

They work 

I also hate using third-party picture hosting sites because they are here today but maybe gone tomorrow........

Thats exactly why i host them myself, it does not cost much, just take a raspberry pi (5 watts so no high energy bill) a domain name, also cheap per year, and if for some reason your host needs changes, just modify DNS and your'e back in business.

WOW what a brilliant find so many lovely cabs pins i dont really get maybe one day 

[synonym9]

Saturday I pick the next ones.
Maybe I post images but I have some problems loging in.

I can read and answer questions and threads but I just enter via the webpage I get this

[synonym9]

And from that page I cant do anything..,no matter what I click.

[DarthNuno]

 See the 'fix' in the picture 

[synonym9]

Ahhh...ok, now it works again.

So look forward to more pics.

BTW, tenpence die mention podcast #23tenpencearcade.co.uk/?powerpress_pinw=667-podcast

I think the guys said they want to join on DLF now....

I did'nt had nicht time the last month, I was busy to save a SEGA DX-cab that was stored outside for many yeats now and is still in good shape....but thats a whole other story

[Chuckie egg]

It's about time they did join.

[synonym9]

That should bring my thread on the DLF-starting-page 


OK, expect some more pictures tomorrow.

We going to pick a machine for my friend Nikos (a generic one for emulation) and some dedicated for my collection.

I can pick at least 6 machines, the agenda could look like this:

1- Nikos generic cabinet

2- SEGA Turbo
(I wanted to load already 2 times, the first time we realized that we cannot load it at the end, what we tried. It is that tall that it needs to be the first cab that needs to go into the van.
The second time I wanted to pick it we decided to take some games from another venue first as we were already there, so when we arrived the certain hall we had´nt the room for the Turbo and took another one.

3- Stern Berzerk

4- Super Invaders (a Space Invaders Deluxe Clone)

5- Williams Arctic Gun

6- Alca Flying Circus

and maybe we can fit one Game in one of the passenger cars.

You will get many pictures like always.

Awsome thread, heard about this on UKvac and the 10pence arcade, so had to come and take a looksee at the photo's great stuff on saving these cabs.  Doesn't happen to be a Centipede Cabaret or Euro Millipede in there somewhere does there?

[synonym9]

No and no, unfortunately not.
Although I discover new games everytime I am there so far the games you stated are not on the list.  

This thread brought some UK-members to DLF although I opended a compareable thread on UKVAC too, which is my favorite forum now and this is the one that will be updated when I go back to the place to pick the rest.

I had another rescue mission which was urgent and prepair my next trip which will be a big story too...but in the new year I go back to the place and pick the rest...and I will make more pictures and post them on UKVAC, I just get more love and respect there  

[Tyrem]

win win i would say!
