    Default Another nod to aquarium stands

    I picked this one up at Petco for $125 and it is very tough, defiantly built for the weight. I put a few screws though to hold the machine to the table and it is a treat to be able to flip open the door and service it without having to worry about anything falling.

    Added in a wall stand a while back, now it has my Star Wars and the Galaxy Railways.

    And while not a pachi, I did new T molding on my Ice Cold Beer and replaced the nasty plastic joysticks with wood beer tap handles.

    Are those asteroids on your ceiling or are my old eyes deceiving me?

    ICB was made a few years ago by ICE and I think it may still be in production. It is an updated version of a 1980's game by the same name made by Taito. There is a non beer version called Zeke's peak as well. The gameplay is basic but challenging, and the more you play while tipping back a few the more challenging it gets, you can always drink yourself to a new level of difficullty.

    It can best be described as sort of a verticle pinball/maze derivative. The play starts off with the machine telling you to have another round, and the bar rises up from the base and has a ball on it. By using the joysticks you tip the bar and raise it and work the balls around the holes you don't want to the ones that are lit. The lit hole moves higher each time you make it. When you drop the ball into the lit hole you get a beer glass filling, when you drop it in the wrong one you get a toilet flush. The whole time the 99 bottles of beer tune is playing. What is funny is that the music subtlety and slowly begins to sound like a record that is slowing down.

    Oh, yes, that is an Asteroids game layed out in 1/4 blacklight tape so it looks like a game playing out. I am starting a big renovation now and the walls/ceilings are being done in black so the game will look even better on the ceiling. It should also counterbalance the blacklight carpet well.

    I see a King Hauler there in the first pic! You have the MFU and motorized landing legs too?
