2/03/12 - Collector Spotlight: Keith's Arcade
|
|
Recently I had the opportunity to visit a local collector's arcade out in Fulton, MO. Keith has a nice collection of pinballs and arcade games.
I definitely spent some time on the Xenon and Elvira pinball games as pinballs are something I still want to add to my collection.
The tricked out Space Zap game was a beautiful sight and I also had to try my hand at Satan's Hollow as it is a counterpart to my very own Tron.
Of course I took lots of pictures of the gaming goodness. Image galleries of other collectors arcades will now be permanently found in the top menu link "Other Arcades".

1/27/12 - New Sega Neon Sign
|
|
Although the Atari and Sega brands still exist, they don't carry the same presence today as Playstation, Xbox and even Nintendo. That being said,
it is impossible to find Atari and Sega related signs. Today the Vintage Vault received a Sega neon sign. Neon signs are the perfect arcade ambience. I fondly remember my Genesis game system
and Sonic the Hedgehog. Sega and Sonic go hand in hand. Although I have since sold my Sega Outrun and Afterburner games, I still own a Sega
Crazy Taxi, Sega Rally Championship Deluxe and Emergency Call Ambulance. That being said, the new Sega neon sign proudly hangs above the Crazy
Taxi game on drivers row, where the Sega driving games are currently located.
Arcades and Neons, go together like ice cream and cake. Check it out!

1/20/12 - Last Gameday of 2011
|
|
|
Days after everyone unwrapped their Christmas presents a few families came out to enjoy the arcade. Kids were still on Christmas break,
and I was still on Christmas vacation. Of course I was able to capture a few snapshots of the fun before everyone went back to the bump and grind
of 2012. Enjoy the photos!

1/13/12 - Video Vault Rewind ~ The Year 2011 In Review
|
|
With the new year beginning, it's time to reflect on the last year of collecting. The year 2011 brought in a few new games into the Video Vault.
The year's totals leave us with 7 new games that have made their home in the arcade. I managed to grab several games that were on my want list
so I've been happy with my pickups.
Probably the most memorable moments are
the double pickup of a Sinistar and a Terminator 2 right after a 10 inch snow storm (thank God for
Hemi's and a 4 wheel drive),
the movie theater outing and RoadBurners pickup
and the
the best piece in my entire collection, a HUO Tron.
Ah....memories....
Starting with the beginning of last year, we have
Terminator 2, Sinistar, Narc, Robotron, Road Burners, Hyrdothunder, Megatouch Maxx Crown,
and Tron. I seriously don't have any space left. Yes, the year 2011 has been good. I may be 2 weeks late with this posting, but on that note,
Happy New Years everybody!
