Marble Madness

9/28/2025 - Marble Madness

This is the Same game Sam and I first played Marble Madness together on at Roxy's Arcade Bar in Boston, MA! Somehow, by chance, we ended up with the exact same machine, years later.

Judge Dredd

4/11/2025 - Judge Dredd

Our fourth pinball machine, Judge Dredd was a the top of our list due to the immense variety of shots present in the game, along with excellent themes and gameplay.

Qix

12/3/2024 - Qix

Qix is the seventh cocktail game to call our collection home. This particular example is all original, and is absolutely MASSIVE. We acquired this machine broken, in trade for servicing work on another machine. It needed a lot of work on the video section of the PCB set, as it was not generating colors correctly, nor was it working properly on the player 2 side. The monitor still needs a little work, but that's a problem for another day.

Inferno

10/11/2024 - Inferno

Extremely rare Williams game designed by Python Anghelo. This cabinet was found in Ohio, converted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Deconversion was a lengthy process which was covered on a thread on KLOV. This machine needed new paint, new artwork, used a Joust II PCB, and had a new CPO from Galloping Ghost. It does have an original marquee, which was graciously provided by a good friend. The only original internal parts were the monitor, power block, and AC harness. It is in need of proper blaster-style joysticks to round out the restoration.

Food Fight

9/15/2024 - Food Fight

Food Fight was rescued from an abandoned house in West Virginia, where it was located with 16 other machines. Unfortunately, during the time it took to locate the house from the sparse information available online, copper thieves raided the building, and destroyed all the monitors and stole PCBs and wiring harnesses. Luckily, with the help of KLOV, Food Fight was able to be resurrected. I did have to craft a new wiring harness and back door for it though.

I Robot

8/19/2024 - I Robot

I Robot is an ultimate grail for us. The second game to real time render 3D objects after Cube Quest, and does it full time. The hardware Atari used for this was unique to the game, making it very difficult to find. Presently, we have a working PCB, but are in need of the plastic control panel, and a working Atari switching power supply.

Sinistar

5/26/2024 - Sinistar

We picked this up the very next day after Addams family. A deal too good to turn down. I actually looked at this machine and was concerned that it could be a reproduction, it looked so good. Nope, just turned out to be an excellent original survivor. It needed some board work, but nothing the FPGA cat box couldn't handle!

Addams Family

5/25/2024 - Addams Family

Holy grail Addams Family. Running Gold roms, with some additional tasteful mods such as: Pinsound, Art Blades, 3D Printed book and thing signs, pit accelerators. We found this game near Chicago and drove all the way out to get it, in celebration of Sam getting her PHD. It was our longest arcade road trip together.

Galaga

5/19/2024 - Galaga

Galaga is the game that everyone always asks us about. "Do you have Galaga yet?" "I'll come visit when there's Galaga!" Well, we finally have a Galaga! A total deconversion, but a Galaga nonetheless. Thanks to a wonderfully generous member on KLOV, we were able to acquire a full set of internals for the game. It's a great fit next to Space Invaders!

Battlezone

This Battlezone was free! Pulled it out of a basement, completely dead, but complete. It took a lot of work on the vector generator to get this machine going again.

Dig Dug

1/7/2024 - Dig Dug

Original Atari Dig Dug Cocktail. Serial numbers do not match, so it's a cobbled unit. To add credits, insert coin. This unit has no freeplay. Coins should be on the game or in the (unlocked) cashbox.

X-Men is a Beast

12/10/2023 - X-Men is a Beast

Part of the reason we needed to set up the Vector room was to make space for X-MEN! This massive 6P machine measures 6'x4'x7', and weighs 600lbs. This whole process was the first major reorganization of our new Arcade.

The Vector Room

12/7/2023 - The Vector Room

With Major Havoc and Lunar Lander finally working, we cleared out the space that the workshop was in, and established the Vector Room, moving all of our vectors into the space. It didn't stay this open for long though.. Nothing ever does.

Major Havoc

11/1/2023 - Major Havoc

This is an original Major Havoc conversion in a Space Duel cabinet. It came out of a Time Out arcade in New York. While it did have the original Space Duel/Havoc conversion panel, we have since replaced it with a panel by Takeman which can accommodate an original Major Havoc roller assembly.

Space Duel

9/9/2023 - Space Duel

The cocktail version of Space Duel is probably the best way to play space duel. Simultaneous, head to head, dual player action... What's not to love? I have also developed a free play hack for Space Duel which works on the cocktail, makes it that much better.

Millipede

5/27/2023 - Millipede

Millipede was the second of two games that we got out of an old Operator warehouse in Hampton, VA. The roof had caved in, and water had destroyed many of the machines in there. Millipede was largely protected by its top glass, though the bottom did see some swelling. It was missing the monitor and PCB, but luckily we had both! An excellent and worthy sequel to Centipede.

Aliens

2/18/2023 - Aliens

We got this board loose, from a member on KLOV. It was originally housed in our Dynamo HS-5 cabinet, but we later changed it to be housed in a Konami cabinet that we were able to find locally. However, that cabinet is/was in need of serious restoration, which has not been completed yet.

Asteroids Deluxe

2/14/2023 - Asteroids Deluxe

This was a valentines day pickup for me and Sam! We found this one in an abandoned house in West Virginia. The owner wanted to demolish the building, so she let us grab this game from inside. Ultimately, we were able to repair the whole thing!

The Very First Game Room

9/27/2021 - The Very First Game Room

With the acquisition of Space Station, Tempest (even though it wasn't working), Space Invaders, and Centipede, we finally set up the first thing that we could call a game room. Centered with a pool table and a Jukebox, it was a cozy, inviting space. Little did we know what it would turn into.
