Just completed 1996's Toonstruck. I can't believe I slept on it this long! Beautifully made, with well-thought-out, challenging puzzles, loads of charm and of course, the wonderful Christopher Lloyd. Pity about the abrupt ending (see also the game's horrific financial failure and cancelled sequel).

The Galaxian 3 at Fun World is unfortunately experiencing technical issues not unusual of a 30+ year old machine. To avoid disappointment, I recommend holding off on any road trips to play the machine for now until the problem is resolved.

Finally learning how to play the piano at the tender age of 41 and three lessons in, it's going very well! It's never too late to start...

Exterminator by Gottlieb/Premier Technology. Dual TMS34010 power!

Claims to be JAMMA but isn’t, as it has separate sync on another connector 🤦‍♂️

I need to find sound boards for it. I think they’re the same as used by the System 80B pinball games.
