Re: video: Museum of Soviet Arcade Game Machines
Thank you Cait.
This video is a great example which displays how little most of us know about the amusement and vending industry in other regions of the world. I admit to being very North American based in my knowledge of coin-op like many of you, yet there is quite a bit of history and divesity when you take a closer look around the globe. Nuts I tell ya, just nuts.

Maxed out at 10 machines, no more no less. Toujours a 10 machines, pas moins pas plus.
Une règle suivi guéri de tout. A rule respected can cure anything.
A philosophy of doing shall rule until the days when I can no longer "do" arrive. Because when I am too old to adjust an AX relay or relieve a woman friend from sighing, there will only be memories to fill my time. So, the task at hand is to build a RRSP of memories in order to joyfully cushion the last stages of life, - all this come hell or calm tides.
I always preferred the exceptional qualities lurking within any normal state of affairs. But now, our day to day is upheld to the realm of the extraordinary via a world wide web of self-promotion fueled by the new dumb. Add to that a saturation of information and useless hype making the ability to care and follow through with real action quite unlikely. The natural power of youth ( and life) has now finally been overwhelmed, stunned, quieted and sold.

"Ahhh...., you god damn writers, never a good word for anything. No one really knows what you will say or do next since all the truth in the world just adds up to one big lie from where you spew out your madness." My Alter Ego.
So once more, it may be time to make some real life adjustments at a real distance from the screens, what do you think Elroy ?

Re: video: Museum of Soviet Arcade Game Machines
I've done a lot of research on Japanese coin-op and have lately been digging a lot of European coin-op. But dang I can't say I recommend getting in to it because shipping stuff across the ocean is ridiculous, and finding stuff from other continents in North America is like a needle in a haystack.R.A.B. wrote:This video is a great example which displays how little most of us know about the amusement and vending industry in other regions of the world.
