I made it to the show today. Lots more games! There were probably what, like, 10 Star Wars? I saw someone roll out another one around noon. There were no lines but it was easier to find an open game this afternoon compared to this morning. The White Water with orange trim had weak coils and opto issues, but I think the game wasn't getting good power. The cabinet was obviously built and decaled from scratch and the game has a new playfield. It's nice!

I saw several kids playing the pinballs and old consoles in the retro console room. Even saw a group my age really getting into the rules in a multiplayer game of Road Show. Typically when a group forms around a game and people start pointing at the playfield, it's because a ball is stuck. That was refreshing to see!

I didn't see any virtual pins or JJP games, which was surprising. Also no games "accidentally" set to $1 a play.

Your games look great! I played them all except Space Station. White Water had frequent issues with ejecting the ball into the shooter lane, and Space Station didn't start a game for me. I think that's the first time I've seen Space Station in person. Here is my Monopoly score:

I played your Mousin' Around several times. It looks and plays fantastic with all original lamps, glad to see no LEDs anywhere in the game. The flipper bats are wrong, but it didn't affect gameplay. I think those belong on Rancho as whoever brought that game put modern flipper bats on it, which was funny.

Also did anyone notice the Capcom Breakshot? I really enjoyed that one.

Everybody wanted it out of their house for a weekend.

Link doesn't work.

I've pretty much covered all the trolls on my list. I rarely see new ones anymore after Robin cracked down on the rules and it tremendously improves my browsing experience. Can't browse the forum without logging in anymore.
