There were so many great games in such beautiful condition that I didn’t even know where to start. I loved seeing that Defender (all original –CPO aside– with all matching serial numbers…and the monitor had never even been capped!). Troy made a point of showing it off…inside and out!

I showed Troy and Terry a few tricks in Donkey Kong they didn’t know, plus a tip on hiding credit switches, so I felt I at least contributed.

It was pretty cold that day and let me tell ya, Track and Field with cold fingers is tough. I couldn’t even place on long jump. It was nice seeing a proper Asteroids Deluxe cocktail after playing it watered down in MAME. The XY monitor really makes a huge difference.

I hope they get that game day together soon, because I’m ready to go back!
