Hallmark Arcade Ornaments

I'd say most of you have seen these. I thought I'd share them with you anyways! I did an article about them on my website.

Yea. This might be my only set of cabs for a while. Hehe. The joys of living in an apartment. I thought about building a bartop. But I'm gonna have to wait till a friend finishes his garage workshop.

Build my first cab in my in-law's patio, then moved it to my apartment....up 2 flights of stairs :P

Cut my CP holes and plexi on my own patio in my apt...with a crazy rigged shop vac attachment I used to vacum up the shavings as I made 'em.

That Galaga ornament is very nice...I saw it last week when i was doing Xmas shopping. You can push the coin door and it plays the opening sound to Galaga...only thing though is that they were selling for 16 bucks...too much for my blood for a Xmas ornament...

We need a video of the Galaga. Just wait until X-mas is over and they will be half price. Think this might be the only Galaga I would actually want to buy....because there's no Galaxian....

Wonder why they switched from the P1 and P2 player buttons starting the music to the coin-door. I guess because lot's of people didn't understand how to "start a game" (at least I had to explain to almost everyone who picked it up here).

I don't wanna call blogspam, but Matt forgot to put a link to the source in his fine article. Here's a direct link to Galaga, just in case someone was interested in actually buying one of the things:

I can't find a Pac-Man, must be out of production.

Try eBay. I bought two last year for $15 or so.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Weird. I pushed the fire button and it played.

Yeah, it's the fire button, not the coin door. I've got both sitting right next to the keyboard I'm typing this on :)

No need to alert the authorities! We've been saved from blogspam (updated the post)! Good call! Yea, Pac-Man was last year's ornament. It seems the price sky rockets on collectible oranments post season. I have found them on Amazon. But they're pricey.

Just a FYI there are $5 off B&M Hallmark coupons in nearly every woman's magazine this month.  I know for sure the Oprah magazine has one.  That is where i got mine.  Now I just have to find a Hallmark near by.

It looks like a Namco license so that rules out Donkey Kong. I say Ms. Pac-Man is a shoe in, but if I have to pick a dark horse, I'd go with Dig Dug.
