If you're near Madison, WI until March 18, 2007, you'll want to check out a museum exhibit of classic arcade videogames. They've got Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Contra, Joust, Joust II, Dragon's Lair, Death Race 2000, Burgertime, Discs of Tron, and many more. (If your favorite game happens to be under repairs at the time, please be patient. Their staff is working double-overtime to keep these games maintained.) Please note that the exhibit is located at 30 North Carroll St, and not at the State Historical Society as mentioned erroneously in this video.
Very cool, I restore them too, but I have yet to restore all my machines just yet for everyone to enjoy them.

You are a man I truly envy!!! I worked my way through college fixing video games at a notorious kid's place 'cause I like those games so much...

When I visited the exhibit, I got to meet the guy who did the restoration on the Robotron sideart. My brother just could not say enough praise for the amazing job he did on it.

For the record, 30 N Carroll IS The Wisconsin Historical Society MUSEUM. The State St address is the headquarters building--hard to believe the news folks screwed that up--but the Wisconsin Historical Society part was correct.

Minor quibble: the game is Death Race, there is no "2000" in the title. Lot of people make that mistake though.
Other than that, these are cool, I've gone to an annual classic expo myself here for the last few years (yeah, they had Death Race in 2005 ;) ). Just wish we had your 36 degree weather in March though, that doesn't happen too often here in the south!
