Ten Years of www.aaarpinball.com (IJ,HS2,T2,FH,RBION,RS,WH2O,STTNG,WCS...)

I was looking back and realized I've been doing my pinball (and vid) web site for over 10 years now! Wow... how the time flies.

Over the past 10 years I've written up a bunch of stuff regarding my pins, including IJ, HS2, T2, FH, RBION, RS, WH2O, WCS, Fire, Simpsons, CFTBL, SW, TZ...

Seems like yesterday I did a linux "strings" on the RBION rom to get all the Odditorium facts.

Check out my "old timer" site at

www.aaarpinball.com

if you have a moment and some interest.

(Someday I'll update to more modern HTML5/CSS/JS)

Hope you find something useful and/or interesting. Enjoy.

Thought I'd share some interesting stats... Assuming my site stats are representative of pinside browsing habits (note: they very well may not be), then ...

55% of you guys run Windows
22% of you guys using iOS
14% of you use a Mac
6% of you use Android

Thanks CapsLock!

I'm glad you enjoyed the HS2 section. FWIW, the HS2 section is one of the weaker ones, so you should enjoy the other pages even more.

I think there is useful info about TZ (http://www.aaarpinball.com/TwilightZone/TwilightZone.htm) and STTNG (http://www.aaarpinball.com/STTNG/STTNG.htm), among the others. If you can stomach it (since it's a vid and not a pin!), I've been adding a bunch of stuff about an Area 51 Site 4 vid recently (http://www.aaarpinball.com/Area51Site4/Area51Site4.htm).

Great to hear it, yoshootme.

TheShameGovernor, you are very welcome.

Bottom line is that i learned much from the community, so since the beginning I've been trying to share what I've learned/done.

A little self promoting... Let me get that out of the way

I've been working on bringing my web site into 2015. It was originally authored with FrontPage 2003 (yup) and that tool was used for a long time. Let's just say it didn't generate the most modern HTML.

For the past 6 months I've slowly been working on removing all the crud that FrontPage added and embracing modern web approaches, such as responsive design. The result is that www.aaarpinball.com now looks great on traditional computers as well as mobile devices. To get an idea, you can open the page on your browser and then make the width smaller and smaller and see what happens. Or just look at it via a smartphone and a desktop. This isn't rocket science, it's using modern tools (bootstrap) that are available.

At www.aaarpinball.com I try and cover some/many of the things I do to my pins/vids. It currently has content for...

Pins:
Indiana Jones
Getaway
Terminator 2
FunHouse
Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Road Show
WhiteWater
Star Trek the Next Generation
World Cup Soccer 94
Fire!

Creature from the Black Lagoon
Data East Star Wars
Twilight Zone
Revenge from Mars
Doctor Who

Vids:
Daytona 2
Super GT
Marble Madness
Atari Star Wars
RoadBlasters
Asteroids Deluxe
Area 51 Site 4

This site exists purely to help out the hobby. Maybe something on there is interesting to you... www.aaarpinball.com

Ok, I know the root page needs some different art... baby steps.

I'd read it!

Hahah! AARP vs AAAR Pinball...

Thanks! This stuff isn't rocket science... I learned simply by doing and help from others.
