Great 80’s Arcade Website from the 90’s
Twin Galaxies Coin-Op World Record site is great fun. Come for the high scores. Stay for the artful Photoshopery
The World has one upped itself by handing the keys over to the people. Introducing The World’s Biggest Pac Man, a user-generated Pac Man maze of infinite proportions. Great.
Billy Mitchell to world- “Arcades are not places to have fun!”
Billy Mitchell, once hi score holder for Donkey Kong and evil arch villan on the movie “King of Kong,” has opened a “King of Kong Arcade” despite claims that he has never seen the film. Judging by the fact that he put it in the Orlando Airport and that it is a festering pile of present day arcade sadness, I’m not surprised. Take a look.
Anyone else feeling nostalgic with a Tron sequel around the corner? Not yet? Then you must need a total throwback video from Daft Punk. NO SPOILERS. GUARANTEED.
More impressive than the idea of a two-player Canabalt 2* is the platform this video unveils- the Winnitron 1000, a revamped arcade machine with a mission to spread the glory of indy gaming.
My only concern is that people as far away from Winnipeg as myself will never get to use the Winnitron 1000. I pray to mighty indy game developers out there that other Winnitron 1000-like machines are built and that everyone can enjoy playing games like this once again.
