Repair – Namco NB-1 leaking capacitors

Written by S11
A never-ending plague… I picked up a NebulasRay earlier this week, hard to find these days and I’d heard someone mention reliability issues.  It arrived, it worked, and upon close inspection I can see one reason these would fail. ...

Written by S11
So I finally had to address the silly idea of just using DD/MM as the post date for these.. Couple of things, one seen before but it helps me track everything when I’m documenting the collection to post things...

Styx – Master Of Shadows

Written by S11
Haven’t written about non-arcade games that much recently, to be honest I thought 2014 was a pretty bad year overall.  Lots of broken games, some even worse examples of DLC and in-game currency sales, remakes as far as the...

LED Storm – an unusual game with an unusual history

Written by S11
Living as I do in the UK, consoles weren’t really the big thing and everyone had home computers – the Spectrum, C64, and later the Atari and Amiga.  On the ZX Spectrum and the Amiga when I graduated to...

Last PCB haul for the year, and there are some really interesting ones. UFO Robo Dangar – this one is licensed by Tecfri.  Or was it?  It’s known that Tecfri licensed quite a number of games from various manufacturers,...

So Driveclub got another small update today, the recently added weather features are now in playlisted races.  This was the first time I’d seen thick snow, and yes I couldn’t see a thing, started trying to drive via minimap...

New arrivals 28/11/2014

Written by S11
It occurs to me at this point that tagging my arrivals posts just with DD/MM and not including the year, is eventually going to cause a mess.  I need to sort that out.  I need to do a lot...

Akuma – strangest gun game you’ll see

Written by S11
Here’s a little known game, it’s Akuma by GameWax from around 2005 and there’s nearly zero information on it anywhere, when you try you tend to hit 5 million links to do with Streetfighter…. It’s an interesting thing though,...
