Good news! Woah Dave! Deluxe! is coming to Playdate as a FREE UPDATE! REALLY SOON! It's got almost everything the original arcade and home console versions had. Boss battles, bonus aliens, rideable UFOs...the WORKS!

And yes, the CM story gets more complicated. Tweakbod identified this 1978 commercial for a Breakout and Pong-style game table by Bally Japan (which itself is a crazy story as it is NOT affiliated with Bally Mfg). So be careful when you say "first" folks.

First time umpiring with a plate coat. I like it! No more fiddling with ball bags on my belt and you stay pretty warm once the sun goes down.

I decided I wanted the Berzerk Coleco ”Revival” tabletop to look more like the prototype presented in the 1982 Coleco catalog. I could really only keep it 1 player, but It looks GREAT now! (pre-mod image included)

Prototype pictured in 1982 Coleco catalog, never released.

After modifications. Single button, white control schemes, new labels matching prototype, proper bezel added.

@adriansdigitalbasement.com Was so impressed with your Intellivision repair video! Was curious: would you have any interest in taking a stab at repairing one of the rarest video game consoles in existence?

Tournament season around here! Nice to work in 4-man crews with my dudes. That's me on the right ready to work 1st base. I called abandonment in one of these games, which I may never get to call again. So weird.

Baseball is the perfect sport for ADHD people like me who can just watch a few highlights and feel like you watched the entire game.

Boy, did I have a humbling evening umpiring behind the plate. Baseball has a way of doing that to everyone involved. An effective reminder that complacency is insidious.

Umpired my first game of the season today, which turned into an almost 3-hour ordeal with extra innings and some crazy plays. Feels good to get back out there!

Modding fairly common old consoles with modern power and AV solutions is always acceptable in my opinion. This Intellivision II now has USB C power and composite out.

I take back what I said about Hamster’s Arcade Archives Space Invaders. The photo ver. of the moon backdrop IS in the options. It is THE most accurate emulation of a Space Invaders arcade cab I have ever seen. The sound is perfect, with the proper oscillating FX when hitting Invaders. It’s SO good.

I’m sure this goes without saying, but always check eBay sellers’ other items. If they’re selling a cart as “untested” but have other carts as “tested and working”, it means the untested shit is broke.

Tim Robinson is funny as hell, but he also employs people of every race, age, gender identification, sexual orientation, size and shape. He strikes me as a genuinely good dude.
