@jingajik No sadly. Just a blank sleeve and generic label (other than the screen print)

Wow, they were cooking at the Linwood High School drama, choir and orchestra in 1970.

@jingajik @Sam_Orchard @NZNL A few hits for Janet Rive appear in the Chch newspapers including more of her artwork - she seems to have been a keen contributor to the ever popular kids corner sections. She also appears in prize list for the Canterbury College School of Art. paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS1…

@jingajik @Sam_Orchard @NZNL This might be the person - Miss J. L. Rive - Dunford Studios. 1938 paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP…

@calrissian33 @jingajik It's in my garage, however I did donate a full cabinet (sans PCBs) to Ngā Taonga a decade ago.

@rad_dav @jingajik Holy shit! Where is this?

"Malzak" (1981) Early NZ arcade game produced by Kitronix youtube.com/watch?v=iXzIeN…

The "Retro Event" today was awesome, sold lots and met lots of cool people and amongst the 99% overseas created content I still managed to find a few local gems.

The Coyle "Mini Organ" - NZ (Whanganui) made knock-off Stylophone with bootleg Rolf.

@D__T_____ A few more Scout badges (mainly Auckland)...

Otara District Scouts 🫱🏻‍🫲🏿

"Flying Sauces" - NZ record (7" 33 rpm). "Chef" reads recipes for various sauces. Wish it still had the recipe book, does anyone else have this and can scan it?

1985 New Zealand Unilever Signal Plus Toothpaste / Toothy Two Robot Competition sticker. One of the top prizes for this competition were Tomy Omnibot robots.

Regrettable NZ music purchases #1

@DujonCullingfrd Fairs are back

@rad_dav Nice finds!! 🔥

Auckland "Hobbies Fair" was today, some of my finds in a sea of Hot wheels / Diecast / Military and Sci-Fi toys.

Yifan's Arcade - May 1992. 239 Queen Street, Auckland, "Over 200 Games"

@UMO There is some interesting Youtube footage of the Queen Street Yifan's, but unfortunately it's cellphone (in low light) of the day quality.

Despite operating on the fringes of the law at times, Yifan's are fondly remembered by many NZ 90's Arcade gamers. While the Auckland locations lasted the longest they also operated for shorter periods in other cities.
