Taking off Land, Sea, Air overlay from Dig Dug
After reading something on the forums today, I got an idea. I read that, in many cases, operators would just apply a new overlay to an existing one. So that meant, potentially that the original Dig Dug overlay was still under the “Land, Sea, and Air” one. I went out into the garage, busted off the lexan covering, and ripped off the stuck on overlay. Sure enough, there was the original Dig Dug.
The overlay came off pretty easy, but left a very dense residue on the

Clerks II (2006)
Who’s Voice is in it (Who’s Not?)
Rosario Dawson, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Jason Lee, Wanda Sykes, Ben Affleck
Should you see this movie?
Unless you are Clerks I fan, no. Vulgarity to offend is the whole point, and I could watch this once so I seemed cool, but I didn’t really enjoy it all that much. Now, I think others who have seen and really enjoyed the first one will love this. The underlying story

Click (2006)
Who’s Voice is in it (Who’s Not?)
Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Sean Austin, Henry Wrinkler, Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff
Should you see this movie?
Yes, go to see this one, but keep in mind that the previews make this look like a typical Sandler movie when it really is half a funny Sandler movie and half of Punch Drunk Love somberness. In this one Sandler is an architect trying to get ahead, provide for his family, have enough time, the usual

The DaVinci Code (2006)
Who’s Voice is in it
Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen, Paul Bettany, Alfred Molina
Should you see this movie?
That is a good question. It was one of the two real blockbusters of the year based closely on one of the best sellers of a few years, a few years back. But if you have strong views on Christianity and can’t step aside for some fiction, they you won’t want to see this. Granted, it does mislead those who

Buying the Dig Dug cabinet
I had seen a post in the Google groups about a guy just south of Dayton that was selling working Contra and Super Contra machines. I knew that a friend of mine wanted a Contra, and it was a good deal at $150 so I thought I would go and check it out, it would be a fun roadtrip.
I knew that I would be using a truck that had room for one more game, and when I got there I found that this guy had a ton of games

The Break-Up (2006)
Who’s in it
Jennifer Anniston, Vince Vaughn, Joey Lauren Adams, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman
Should you see this movie?
I think so. Funny movie, painful if you have been through a break-up in parts of it, but I think it was an original idea and the chemistry between Anniston and Vaughn was good, and Anniston’s acting was very good. At the end you could feel what she was going through, which is funny because I think it was meant …
Found a Tempest mini arcade game
Today, I stumbled into one heck of a deal. I found a lady local to Indianapolis who had a couple of games sitting in her garage. Her husband used to be an operator, but he passed away a couple of years ago. At that time, most all of the arcade and pinball machines he had were sold. But a Mr. Do! and Tempest remained.
I was lucky enough to come across this find, but was not familiar at all with Tempest – I’m still fairly new at …
