In Warframe, Equinox has always been one of the harder Warframes to obtain, and also one of the most useful. Considered to be about as good as the nuke-queen Saryn, Equinox definitely excels in some areas over the former and lacks in others. I’ve played both in ESO and Mot farms and I can confidently […]
Introducing Path of Exile Harvest league! The newest Path of Exile league is nearly upon us, and there is a ton of incredible stuff in the teasers already. While the patch notes have not yet been released, we have seen quite a few new keystones, skills, items, and general balance changes. Bex has also announced […]
Live events create some of the most memorable moments in online gaming. They came into the limelight with Fortnite’s first limelight event mid-2018, with the popular rocket launch from Season 4 being one of the most discussed things in the game ever. While Fortnite has created the most memorable live events of all games and […]
So I’m in the home straight here with my Robotron upright restoration. If you missed Part 2, you can quickly catch up here. In short, we left the cabinet last time having just used filler to tidy up the bottom edges, which were disintegrating quite badly, and I wanted to patch those up so that […]
Released in 1981, three units were produced; an upright, cabaret and cocktail variants rolled off the production lines. I wrote about the tale behind the cocktail version here. Just 25 units housing a 19″ monitor were produced (despite it appearing on the sales flyer), before a decision was made to revert to a traditional 13″ […]
You’ll recall a few weeks back I wrote about the acquisition of this great cabinet, released by Nintendo in 1984. This particular example is in great shape, and I was very fortunate to be able to snag it and bring it back to Arcade Blogger towers. If you missed out on the original post, have […]
I hope everyone is doing OK in the current situation. I’ve been keeping busy with Nintendo Red Tent and Robotron restorations – updates will of course follow here on the blog in the coming weeks. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these; I’ve been bookmarking a few things over the last few […]
So this cabinet has been sat in my garage for the best part of two years waiting for restoration work. To be fair, it’s been in a queue – things are getting stacked up out there in recent months. But with a week off work, I decided to try to make some progress recently, so […]
Very sad news to report on the blog today. Tim Skelly, the legendary designer and programmer of many classic arcade titles has passed away. Tim’s contributions to the early days of arcade gaming shouldn’t be under-estimated. He was a fierce proponent of innovation and wasn’t afraid to go against the grain in developing ground-breaking titles […]
An unusual cabinet to share with you this week. Unusual in terms of what it is, and even more unusual to find one over here on European shores. The Nintendo Red Tent is a two-player cocktail style cabinet where players play facing each other on two separate monitors. Released in 1984 in both upright and […]
