https://www.racj.gouv.qc.ca/communications/communiques-aux-titulaires/detail/nouvelle-reglementation-sur-les-appareils-damusement.html I only found it in french though. Go to the "annexe 2" chart, the first row is "machines à boules" (pinball). It is clearly stated that the mach...

Ok, Pinball is a class B category which looks like $340 per year per machine plus $243 annual licence for the establishment. Is that right? http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/ShowDoc/cr/L-6,%20r.%202 http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/ShowDoc/cr/L-6,%20r.%201 Can anyone link to the regulations and fees ...

Just so I'm crystal clear on this, receiving an extra life in an arcade game like Pac-Man upon reaching 10,000 points would trigger this Quebec law and the associated fees outlined above? Or if you found the diamond in Mr. Do! and got a free credit? I remember Todd Tuckey walking the viewer through ...

I hope it's okay to say "ditto" to echo all of the previous comments. We live in a pretty special place with awesome people who make Canada's longest running pinball and gameroom show happen year after year. Kudos everyone! Josh, among everything else, thanks for a great VIP package! In ad...

There wasn't a list I think a few collectors were going to make some game time decisions about what to list and what price.

I do know that pinhead had a couple Atari pin projects for sale, and a couple of other titles.

It turns out I'll be out of town on Saturday so I'll switch my game contribution to Ms. Pac-Man cabaret, as it requires less babysitting.

I will bring out an arcade game - Sega/Gremlin Astro Blaster (mini/cabaret) - the last time I brought it out was in 2015. I hope to bring one more, probably Ms. Pac-Man, but just can't confirm until we're closer.

I discovered that about 3 weeks ago, although I had no clue who the dude was before that point.

Thanks for posting this - really interesting news piece, I didn't even consider that vendors would be pushing their products to people who might purchase a couple of machines as an "investment." Stories of money-losing games is something that Todd Tuckey (TNT Amusements) sometimes shares d...

I never understood why he is not allowed to claim any new records if they are legit. Simple. He lied, manipulated and cheated. What Sparky said. The sanctity of any competitive endeavour is based on a simple but powerful tenet - honesty in competition. For repeated cheating, Donkey Kong Forum and T...

Okay, maybe I didn't have enough coffee today, but I just noticed the "Whirlwind" theme for the poster - nice

Pure awesomeness

Last weekend, arcade Donkey Kong players gathered in Banning CA to participate in the annual "Kong Off" tournament - this year was number 7. During the stream, Billy Mitchell mentioned that he's been talking with someone in Montreal who wants him to come out and help with promotion (for hi...

Prices are way too high at this point fpr what is there but as reality sets the prices will drop. They are open to offers, selling price of most of the remaining items will be a fraction of the aaking price. A very cheap claw or redemption game would be fun in a game room if somebody had the room D...

If anyone is able to post updates about what they've found on site or how sales are handled, that would be great. I'll try to make it out to see what's up.

That's a real bummer to hear. I see it was open for Family Day so this doesn't look like a closure that had any pre-announcements although maybe I missed it. Not sure what this means for staff unless this was discussed internally and not a surprise. Did you learn of the closure through the owner?

Holy crap - a Disc of Tron Environmental at TARG?? Wow. That would be incredible. One of my faves, you can't beat the enviro experience. It's a very fun game straight from the movie. Can't wait to see this.

The regulars at the bar will be there. 8 to 10 of them and any locals that might have intended on bowling. I can quietly tell the locals, but I don't want it to turn into a Woodstock version of PinCon. What needs to be done to make this work? I guess it doesn't have to be a sanctioned event - why n...

That's awesome news Chris. It was a great time at the Olympia Bowl - I got a fair amount of bowling in with my daughter so we'll be competing for top score in between checking out the pins again this year.

It may depend on how it's rigged up - power on in my 'hood again but traffic lights still out

Awesome! I think people are really going to enjoy this "arcade" trend

Any chance you could borrow that sweet Missile Command cabaret you have at TARG? We could make a nice mini row.

I'll bring Ms. Pac Man mini directly, and a Pac-Man mini (multigame) with Xylog's help.

This title would be killer if it had multi-ball. Nice pick up!

12-14 it is!!
