Winter Time calls for a small project that can be managed inside the (warm) house. Please read here about the repair & restoration of SLAM II by Mirco Games (1975 -tbc), a 4 player tennis b/w game.

Mueter Rejuvenators - This was a well known brand in Germany for rejuvenators and other electronic testequipment. Find User Manuals, Schematics and Tube lists scanned by 'Carpcatcher' in section 'Repair'.

Wow, time flys. Recently decided to trade/sell some driving simulators (Indy 500, Namco Cyber Cycles, Sega Cool Riders), have a look here. All machines are located close to Munich/Germany.

The Star Wars Cockpit Rebuild/Restore is moving forward. Astonishing news and progress due to several reproductions becoming available, eg Star Wars Cockpit Artwork, Yoke rebuld kit etc. The wood parts have been almost completed as well.

A brand new picture tube A63AAX00X for my Star Wars Cockpit Project has arrived, the last missing piece for the game electronics.

Only a few updates, a complete new page about TAKE-OFF, a Rip Off clone of Video Games GmbH from Lich (Germany).  In addition Asteroide, an Asteroids Clone by Maxenti from Italy and TAC/SCAN from Sega/Gremlin.

Acquired the January 18. 1982 Time Magazine with an article "GRONK! FLASH! ZAP! - Video Games Are Blitzing the World".  Games mentioned are Defender, Missile Command, Asteroids, Pleiades and PacMan. Magazine is available upon request. A query has been made to the TIME magazine about publishing it here, but two months w/o any response.

Most of the site content is now available in both english and german. A new Asteroids clone named "Hyperspace" was found by André Vossen. It is not yet clear wether the PCB contains un-mame'd ROMS.

The new year and some days off gave me time to continue working. The page of "All Vector Games" is now available in German. Additionally I have worked on the page of german Standard or Universal Cabs. New schematics are also online for the Hantarex MTC900 und MTC9300. On the left changed pages are in Light Green.

The Asterock page has been updated with Pictures from Alessio Minotto and Schematics, scanned by Simon Hanlon ( www.hanlon.info )

The section Vector Arcade Games was updated. See the new sections:

• Cinematronics/Vectorbeam with games like "Spacewar" or "Star Castle"
• SEGA/Gremlin with "StarTrek" or "TacScan"
• Other Original Manufacturers and Licensed & Clones
  

Updated the page "All Vector Games" with recently found bootlegs of Asteroids (Asteroide from Sidam / Italy), RipOff (TakeOff from Video Games GmbH Lich / Germany and Space Pirate from Zaccaria ). Also the Asteroids page was heavily changed with new pictures and other infos.

New Webpage is ONLINE

My two machines Starhawk & Eliminator from the U.S. (www.coinopwarehouse.com) arrived safely. For a first impression see "My Arcade Collection"

A new design of my Homepage is being started including a banner that is comprised of a vector-like font and well-known figures from vector games. Do you know all of them. Contact me. Thanks to TOBU ( www.arcadeinfo.de ) for his creative idea for the new banner :-) .

Started a page with an overview of all ever released and prototyped Vector Games in a cabinet. See the link on the left side named "All Vector Games". Still pretty much "Under Construction"...

Bought two fascinating vector machines, Starhawk (b/w vector by Cinematronics) and Eliminator (color vector by Sega/Gremlin) in the U.S. after I found a way to get them shipped for a reasonable price to Germany. The only picture I have so far is from the sellers web page (www.coinopwarehouse.com) and it shows the machines in their current condition which is described as "good, complete and non-working". Let's see ;)

Was visiting the Arcade Forum Meeting of www.arcadezentrum.de in Worms & Karlsruhe (Germany). Fotos of this event are to be found here (no longer): http://www.arcadezentrum.com/gallery/. The meeting started on Friday, when we visited André Vossens Collection of Machines. On Saturday morning we made a visit to alpha-electronic, an Operators Warehouse and finally drove to Karlsruhe where we visited the Retrogames e.V., a collectors show of about 40 Arcade Machines (Asteroids, Frogger, Missile Command, Xybots, Outrun 2 sitdown & more) plus pinballs (Adams Family..), all playable for a nominal fee. Had a great time !!!

Working as Admin now for the German Arcade Forum  www.arcadeinfo.de. I am seriously thinking about making a german language version of my web page here now.
