Sold the Centipede

On Sunday evening, a couple of guys came to look at my Centipede project. They are young (in their early 20's) and it's really cool to see them interested in these old games. They have plans on restoring it to its former glory much sooner than I could. Now, it's time for me to get another game to replace it!

Nintendo Playchoice Added!

I posted a wanted thread on KLOV a few weeks ago looking for a Nintendo Playchoice 10 machine. It's a machine Nintendo released where you could insert a quarter that would buy an allotted amount of time to play up to 10 different games. These games were the NES games, but in a stand up arcade machine. I always thought they were really cool. Tonight, a local arcade collector delivered a Playchoice machine to me. In return, I trade him my Vs. cabinet. I am sad to see the vs. system go, but also very excited to have the Playchoice. He included 7 games: Dr. Mario, Super Mario Bros., Double Dribble, Rygar, Rush'n Attack, Trojan and Pro Wrestling. There are 3 open slots for additional games and I think I'll be adding Excitebike, Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 to the mix.
