I was able to play this rare game at a local arcade collector's party. It is really cool, makes me think of Star Wars crossed with Space Invaders!

Goodbye Virtual Boy Arcade Cabinet
Well, I never thought I would do it, but when the opportunity to buy a Star Trek: The Next Generation Pinball machine presented itself I decided that I would sell the Virtual Boy so that I could get it. Thanks to Nathan Barnatt (AKA Keith Apicary http://www.youtube.com/talkingclassics & http://www.youtube.com/user/nathanjbarnatt) for buying the Virtual Boy and making my dream of owning this pinball come true!

Capcom's Ghost 'n Goblins (Arcade Bootleg)
I recently picked up this cool bootleg of Ghosts 'n Goblins. This is the same as Capcom's version, just some bootleggers copied the hardware and ROMs and sold this cheaper to arcade operators back in the 1980's.
Latest Arcade Game Pickup: Sega's Super Hang On
I picked this up just the other day, it needs a lot of cleaning and tuning, but it is a nice solid game.

JAMMA Ms. Pac-Man Champion Edition & Super Zola Pac Gal
This is a really neat JAMMA board from the 90's with Ms. Pac-Man Championship Edition and Super Zola Pac Gal on it. Both have a timer you have to clear the stage in and are in turbo mode. Thanks CrazyKongFan for bringing it along!

Thanks to CrazyKongFan for stopping by again on his way to FunSpot, watching him play Gaplus is always amazing, even with my flaky right fire button. I need to fix that.

Milling out an Arcade Control Panel
I have a Marvel vs Capcom what is in a PVG/Semco (Hannaho) cabinet. The control panel is made from very thick MDF. I use a Smithy BX-288 to mill out the panel to sink the joystick base into it.
