Snow Bros.

There was an auction on ebay for this game, and we had picked up on it because the game was being sold from Flint. Curious enough to just see what the game was all about, I gave it a whirl and really liked it. Before I get into really detailed information about the game, you could just read what Klov has on the history of it here.

In the Snow Brothers game, you are

Zoo Keeper

A collector in Chicago that I have emailed back and forth was surprised when I had never played this game, so I thought I would give it a shot. I thought the cabinet looked nice, the sideart kind of interesting with the running lion, very detailed. Being a Taito game it is in my favorite cabinet design, the one with the nice curve on the side that flattens at the top, and bows at the bottom typically with large, bold, thick line designed sideart.

I liked this game like

Pooyan

The same collector that recommended Zoo Keeper to me has this game. And just like usual, since I hadn’t hear of it I thought I would try it out.

The idea of the game is that you are a little pig that is trying to prevent foxes from coming in and stealing your babies. When you look at the screen you see a cliff above where the foxes get balloons and float down to the ground. On the ground and to the right there is a house where

Turkey Shoot

I was exposed to this game for the first time in September of 2006. I was in Chicago, and I visited another collector who had this game. He had mentioned it in email before I left, and I checked it out, but I didn’t think too much of it.

The idea of the game is to shoot the turkey’s that are robbing this town. You are looking forward at some digital buildings, and turkeys with robber masks are running around, and one has a bag with a money sign

Adjusting Dig Dug Color, now it looks great!

This afternoon I took some time on the Dig Dug outside to see if I could figure out what was going on with the color issues. I took my huge oversize mirror out so I could see what I was doing. I was able to adjust the vertical sync a little bit more to get the picture right, and then I adjusted the color controls, mostly adding more blue into the picture and the game looked great!

We have noticed Nokes starting to lose teeth, two tiny ones, but tonight he lost a major moler type tooth. Pretty huge, there is a gaping hole in his gums, so I hope something comes in there pretty soon. I know this is natural, but it makes you nervous how big that hole is in his gums.

New Dig Dug Coin Door Amp Connector

Got the new AMP connector hooked up with the old coin door wires tonight, so that was pretty exciting. I coined up and played just fine, the coin door bulbs even came on. However I realized I hadn’t hooked up the Player 1 and Player 2 LED Cone buttons. So I had to go inside and check the connections on the other machine. The one button has solder on it for some reason, so I may just swap that one out. It has a broken …
