Cerulean blue. Cerulean makes me think of a breeze, a gentle breeze. stevelin.bsky.social

Back from a few weeks in Europe and getting reacclimated to the time zone and driving on the other side of the car/road. Mostly spent time off the grid but took one game-related photo: A small shop in Amsterdam had a surprising number of Vectrex homebrews for sale

@HumanityPlague @CaptainsAuction That's where I played it as well! Shame to hear that they've pruned the collection :(

@stevenplin @CaptainsAuction Cedar Point actually used to have one of those when I was a kid. When I went back there last year, ALL the pinball machines were gone and it was pretty tragic. They did have the Japanese Rambo light gun game though.

For the individual with tons of space for extremely rare pinball machines: An Atari Hercules pin is up for sale this weekend @CaptainsAuction bid.captainsauctionwarehouse.com/lot-details/in…

The Making of Karateka is everything I’ve wanted when discussing the preservation of games and sharing that knowledge with others. So much love and attention! Thank you to everyone involved in its creation and I can't recommend it enough store.steampowered.com/app/1163060/Th…

It almost looks like I know what I'm doing!

#1 question in our @testedcom Starfield build video - "Why are Adam's hands blue!?" Answer - youtu.be/5_srLwzrh1s #Starfield

Had to deal with flipper gremlins yesterday so got up early to do some maintenance. First one on the floor so it felt like I was the last arcade op on earth

Not one but TWO prototype games are up for sale. A Marble Man (Marble Madness 2) and Primal Rage 2

Forgot to post @CAExtremeOrg setup pics from yesterday. As I get older it definitely gets tougher to sling games around! Got a chance to try out the new Godfather pinball and snagged #1 on the leaderboard if only for a short while

@MikeJMika Time to revive GD Ritzy's

Whoa… thin cut just blew up! This is a wild ride.

Who would win in a fight?

Oh and just because they are new doesn't mean bad things aren't happening underneath the hood. Hence the recap - Preventative maintenance.

Pulling out more LaserActive stuff to get recapped and discovered that the N10 (TurboGrafx) Promotional Pack I have is still sealed! I also found the receipt which shows I paid $240ea for these in 2013 from an electronics wholesaler.

Also went to the Alameda Flea Market this morning. Didn't buy anything but saw some interesting stuff. You don't see CD-i, 3DO, and Neo Geo Pocket games that often and the Bandai Aston Martin with remote ejector seat was very cool!

I was only able to swing by Vintage Computer Festival West for a hot second but great to see some friends in person and Adrienne Hunter was back with her knitting machines!

Spent the weekend camping. Our solution to diffusing the light from a particularly bright lantern:

@Fobwashed The Bad Dudes arcade service manual had a patch

I'd like to write a book on video games just so I could release it with a day one patch that's a sticker sheet on the inside flap of the cover with instructions on which pages need to have misspelled words stickered over with the correct ones.

🚨NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE RT!🚨 So excited to FINALLY reveal "The Making Of Karateka," our next game from @DigitalEclipse! Before Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner created this 1984 Apple II masterpiece. Our new interactive documentary goes DEEP.
