Happy Bonfire Night! Be safe. youtu.be/On9X-s2caOI

An interesting IBM PS/2 Model 30 + LaserDisc player setup in S6E13 of St. Elsewhere. Apparently this is the DxTer Clinical Simulator system, developed by Intelligent Images Inc. Does anybody recognize the monitor? It appears to be a touchscreen.

Just completed 1996's Toonstruck. I can't believe I slept on it this long! Beautifully made, with well-thought-out, challenging puzzles, loads of charm and of course, the wonderful Christopher Lloyd. Pity about the abrupt ending (see also the game's horrific financial failure and cancelled sequel).

As promised, here's the write-up of the Galaxian 3 repair effort: philwip.com/galaxian-3-p...

The Galaxian 3 at Fun World is unfortunately experiencing technical issues not unusual of a 30+ year old machine. To avoid disappointment, I recommend holding off on any road trips to play the machine for now until the problem is resolved.

"What is this place?" "Keep your eyes peeeeeeeeeeled!"

The Galaxian 3: Attack of the Zolgear at Fun World, Nashua, NH is up and running again with all six players! This is the only known working installation in the US. I’m very proud to have been part of the repair effort. Look out for the full story on philwip.com soon

Finally learning how to play the piano at the tender age of 41 and three lessons in, it's going very well! It's never too late to start...

Homicide: Life on the Street is criminally under-appreciated.

Don’t see this one too often: Mad Motor by Mitchell (1990)

Accidentally threw my new paring knife into the trash but thankfully caught it when it pierced through the trash bag and sliced into to my leg

Exterminator by Gottlieb/Premier Technology. Dual TMS34010 power! Claims to be JAMMA but isn’t, as it has separate sync on another connector 🤦‍♂️ I need to find sound boards for it. I think they’re the same as used by the System 80B pinball games.
