What did you do today in the hobby?

We all do so many things in 1 day. Those of us that love this hobby.
We all do continue to do what we do, online and offline my friends.

Unfortunately, I missed the Argentina v France final for the FIFA World Cup 2022 because I was on the road to Ottawa at the time. But France won! Wooohooooo! Well, Europe won. They got most of the nifty soccer pins that Gottlieb made in '82 called Striker. Luckily for me, Blackghost4 remembered my interest in the game, over 2.5 years ago!? Awesome. Big thanks, Fernando.

And big thanks to Jason (The Evener) too, for excellent help, as always.

I kicked my daughter's butt.

Great game.

Hey who here was talking to me in Hawkesbury, saying they wanted to buy a prewar table? I might have one for sale soon.

Got some Taisho-era one sen pieces in the mail today in advance of an exciting piece on its way that requires them... Foreshadowing!

To coin a phrase.

Big couple of days!

Shout out to Xylog for letting me babysit Genesis. Thank you!

Was great to see Warlock on his travels, and he took home an eclectic set of goodies, which helped me recover some space in my limited arcade room.

I also received an incredible piece of history, an extremely early pachinko machine from around 1931, made by the first pachinko machine manufacturer.
I'll write more about it another time on my blog.

I was even able to take some time to hang artwork.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah everyone!

We didn't have room for a tree this year, as this has been sitting non-functional in the living room. Got it running just in time for the family to come over:

Great to see the clear ramps that I hounded Mark (Freeplay40) for months to make, starting in 2014. But you have to remove the art from the drops and pop bumper caps!

Fun but frustrating game with nifty Bach tune.

What was wrong with it?
Was it an easy fix?

There was a bally mata hari blocking it. Once I got into it, I just had to find the ball and put it in the right place.

Did you buy this from Geoff ?
If so, it's my old Ice Cold Beer, I bought it from Greg Kemnitz in Minnesota (SS Billirds) along with my last Williams Rat Race, many years ago.
Fun game, have fun.

Claude.

It's currently on loan from a friend who ran out of space. It's crying out for a restoration but it's not mine!

Nice ! il ne te reste qu'à envoyer de l'argent à Québec pis tu peux l'amener la bas pour que tout le monde puisse tapocher dessus!

Curieux t'entendre tes commentaires dans 2-3 semaines pour voir ce que tu en penses

Est-ce que le show de Quebec a encore seulement 6h de game play?

N'as tu pas un groupe facebook où demander cette question ?

Bien hâte de lire tes commentaires également lorsque tu auras pu passer un peu de temps avec.

Belle machine en tout cas, félicitations

GILV · Post by **GILV** » Sat Mar 04, 2023 8:49 am

I played Foo Fighters Pro and wow I'm a believer. This is Jack Danger's Jurassic Park. It's a revelation of shot design.
This will rival Godzilla for the highest ratings.
