Kickstarter Watch
There are two current Kickstarter that you might be interested in and still have time to get in on them. First up is Mike Kunkles:
Pinball Arcade IOS Season 3 Table Reviews
The Pinball Arcade has been one of my favorite go to games on the iPad because of the portability of the game and it the best way to play the machines in portrait mode that is a lot closer to the original dimensions of the machines.
SC3/Last Arcade on the Planet Spring Get Together
Last Saturday night (4/26) The Last Arcade on the Planet (See my review here) and Southern California Classic Collectors (SC3) joined forces to celebrate classic games for both the home systems and arcade games.
Flipperspiel Wunderland
I am always on the lookout for arcades. There are so few around now that going to one is like taking a step back in time to when I visited local Los Angeles and Orange County arcades in the 1980’s and 1990’s before the implosion of the market in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
The Last Arcade On The Planet Review (Updated 4/30/14)
UPDATED: (4/30/14) I have been back to The Last Arcade on the Planet twice from when this original story was written and Juan has done a great job of fixing the minor issues that I had with some of the machines and he has added a few new games to the mix.
Why Do We Still Love And Play Retro Video Games?
On the eve of the next generation of video game systems PS4 and XBox One, I find it ironic that you can talk to most video gamers and at some point you almost always start talking about playing games on older systems.
Pinball Forever Brings the Game Back to Southern California.
In a recent article I talked about trying to find arcades in the western region and at the time there was only one place in Southern California where you could get your Pinball fix was at Pinball Forever.
The Archaeology of Finding the Lost Arcades
Over the past weekend Disneyland quietly re-opened StarCade in Tomorrowland. Now it’s not as great as it was back in the 80’s when there was the wall of TRON machines but I think after the success of Flynns Arcade at California Adventures during ElecTRONica someone finally go the hint that people love and will pay money to play classic arcade and pinball machines.
