The nice thing about having your own web site as your home page, is that even you can get sick of looking at the same thing. :-)

As far as the arcade stuff, my (hopefully) last and final game for now has joined the arcade - Space Invaders. This is a game I wanted for a while, not exactly sure why, but its been extremely fun to play and definitely a keeper. As for the other projects, Ghost N Goblins is now assembled enough where its playable, but the monitor seems twitchy (power connector may be loose) and it really needs a new joystick. Video Pinball is still down for the count, my own attempt at board repair is not going as well as I had hoped but who knows, maybe I'll figure it out soon. I finally figured out why my Ms Pac wasn't taking coins - the "credit multiplier" board was missing, so one of those later and the coin door finally works.

On top of those projects, I moved out the Playchoice cab, as well as the new Megatouch XL upright I picked up until I find a touch screen for it, or get sick of it and part it out. We'll see what happens. I also may have found something I've been looking for, for quite some time - a Space Zap bezel!! If it makes it to me in one piece, I just may have to finish that one!

Outside of arcade stuff the GN needs a lot of cosmetic work and hopefully I can get that going this year.

By the way, the arcade section of Junknet is a bit lacking due to a problem with the gallery. Once I get that fixed all the new additions will be posted up.
