damn it damn it damn it!!!! I missed it again!!!! i missed the one last winter and now i've missed this one! is there a distrib list I can join? thanks man.
That and the Texas Pinball Expo, I think that it's called, that several of the H. A. A. G. guys also have a yearly gathering for as well. That's all I know of here in Houston, at least!
I recall going to my nearby pizza place just to play that interstellar laser disc game and thought the 50 cent price to play was expensive! I used to go with my nephew (this was years before getting hitched and all!) and we'd have a great time as we loved gaming before it was cool. Loved Starcastle in the day. That song is pretty good, too. I have one Rage song uploaded about Stephen King's book (and movie) Christine called "She."
You weren't missing much on Interstellar (surprised you know of it though!), it was a watered down Xevious, looked great but wasn't as good. Yeah, it was nice playing Starcastle for the first time in over 15 years (months ago) on a real machine!
Yeah, I was WONDERING about that Rage tune, I thought "is that about a car?" :)
Looking forward to the 2008 event on November 7th and 8th!!!!!!

Man I wish I knew where an I Robot machine was. I loved that game.

I consider myself very lucky to have played that, since I never even heard of it until a few years ago.
What, no mention of Star Trek? ;)
Thanks Ouroboros, and you're welcome!

Too obvious :) And I have never seen a Joust 2 game in person. Thankfully I have midway treasures :)

I saw Joust 2 once "in the day", and at that last expo. Kind of an unusual sequel, never did get what the deal was with making your bird gigantic...?

*brings tear to eye* wow! some classics in there! Thanks for sharing!
