It’s Been A Good Week
Aug 27th
The parts necessary to convert my All American Football cabinet into a Golden Tee are slowly beginning to show up on my doorstep. Last Thursday I received my Golden Tee 2002 board set, along with the hard drive and necessary cabling. Over the weekend I located an old 200 watt computer power supply in the basement that will be used to power the hard drive and provide additional power to the PCB. I added some mounts to it so it will be easier to attach to the cabinet. More >
Update: Omega Race = Sold
Aug 12th
About 2 weeks ago, after trying for several months to work out a trade, I decided to sell my Omega Race game. It was a tough decision to make as it is the game that got me into the hobby. It was also without a doubt the game the required the most effort to get running. As much as I liked the game, it just didn’t get played enough to justify having in my collection. For archive purposes, all of the Omega Race posts and pictures will remain on the site.
I’m on the hunt for a replacement game….something along the lines of PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Galaga, Frogger, Centipede, Asteroids, Space Invaders, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, a budget Golden Tee or a decent pinball machine. If you’ve got any of the following for a decent price and are within 150-200 miles of central Illinois, drop me a line.
