hey!

what do you think of arcade rhythm games? or are they not retro enough for you?

I enjoy rhythm games although as you suggest they were a little after my time. I’m always thoroughly impressed by the serious DDR players you see in arcades, and know a couple who always impress me. If I’m entirely honest I’m a little intimidated by dancing games. I do really enjoy the Taiko games though.

My latest pickup.

[arcadephile]

Hmm, it seems the game board isn’t the only thing missing…

[arcadephile]

When I saw the first image I thought it was a mirror-image, but then I saw the second. I guess in an alternate history left-handed cabinets could have been more of a thing.

30 seconds after I cleaned them…

[arcadephile]

So this happened 😁

I’ve been meaning to post this pickup for a while. It needs new EL panels and a new control panel overlay, otherwise it’s complete, functional, and well maintained.a

[arcadephile]

Well, at least it’s on a table and not an actual machine.

[arcadephile]

You know it’s a well looked after cabinet when they’ve replaced the joystick ball top with a pool ball…

I’m in no way affiliated with this, I just think it’s awesome that somebody is producing young modern arcade games. This is something I’ve considered but have never pushed forward with.

So after a few tense moments, I’ve removed the vinyl from the Perspex and put the new ones on.

So I ordered some new marquees from Noodle Shirt.

Unfortunately, in keeping with a poor week of focus, I managed to get the sessions switched around, so I now have this…

Sigh.

Meanwhile, @alexr-fightgames I know you liked seeing Australian levers/sticks, how do you feel about this Australian Street Fighter marquee?

Noodle Shirt is going to print the artwork at the correct sizes so that I can transfer them to the Perspex (after removing the current artwork). This will save me some money and stop me wasting the Perspex, if that makes sense.

Things have been happening…

Whoa! An Australian Street Fighter 1 cabinet licenced to Leisure & Allied Industries. I’ve never seen one of these before, let alone seen one for sale. Just look at it!
