Festive arcade related coolness

[Guests]

Hey guys,

Just out of interest, I was wondering what Arcade related stuff you have planned for the fast approaching holidays? i.e restos/monitor rebuilds/game practice/game room sorting out etc

I'm taking a couple of weeks out from work so, I have a few odd jobs to do around the house but will be spending time playing Donkey Kong, learning new ways of scoring, bottom hammer strategies etc in an attempt to reach 1M

Over to you!

Cheers, Al

I plan to put some tinsel on my Bartop... Happy Xmas

1, I would like to get the unofficial world high score on Sega's Flicky and would like to obtain an original pcb
2, Turn my Alca Cabaret which is wired for Tehkan to Jamma standard at some point

Nice and simple.

I am hoping in one fashion or another to be playing TRON when I get the cab back together. I have 17 days off over Christmas, so will be having a good clearout, swap around, space making, testing festive arcade orgy!

Mark (Retroclinic) has one for sale on ebay right now you might want to check out...

Festive bits for me will hopefully be fixing a couple of boards followed by playing some games; Tempest and Pole Position being my prime choices at the moment.

Got lots of things I'd like to do.
Finish the ceiling in the games room is the main one.
Remove the 'upgraded' LCD from outrun and get the nice 50" tv in the casing somehow, then get the cab mint.
Replace the rubbers and missing bulbs in my LW3 pinny and actually play it!
Start a new resto project. Either a system one or pole position 2 cab are on the list.
Play Mappy a lot.

Thanks for the heads up but It reads like it's a conversion rather than an original. Am I right?

I'm hoping to get all my machines (bar the doomed Monaco GP) working again and hopefully the CUB Monitor that I was given "working" (

). All a bit futile really as the cold will only break them again but I've not been able to properly get to them for night on 2 or 3 years so now I can, I should probably have a go.

No doubt however I will just do what I usually do and sit in front of the computer playing games all Xmas with large quantities of alcohol.

Potential to do a whole bunch of work on my Vectrex game if I feel the urge. But will probably just sit and drink. You get the idea

Main thing is NO WORK FROM FRIDAY - YAY!!! Which is good as this year hasn't been the best of years at work. 2015 is already looking like it will be better however.

Hope to get my Sega Rally put back together so I can put the arcade back together so I can spend all boxing day playing while the missus is at the sales.

After securing a Flicky pcb thanks to this thread my update is:

Boxing day only lasts for one day....what about the rest of the holiday Banana bunch!?!

 

[Hurray Banana]

I'll play some games throughout Al but boxing day is pure guilt free no expectations from family as they are busy

 

[guddler]

Well, I made a start today. Golf now working again. 1 down, 4 to go...

 

[phillv85]

I intend to fix my Vs. Super Mario Bros PCB (hoping the EPROMs I ordered from Hong Kong arrive before Xmas), and try to complete Deathsmiles all level 3 difficulty while doing the Extra stage as well.
