Title: Latest gameroom pictures. (actual picture of me included).
Post by: paigeoliver on July 07, 2004, 10:11:43 pm
The lineup has changed somewhat since the last set of gameroom pics, so here is the latest batch. (Note, I have a fully working Stun Runner, and like 9 project games that aren't in the gameroom).

By the way great game room - I am, as they say, envious.

That IS my living room.

I got your message, but I read it on  the cell phone, and it was marked as read, and I sort of forgot after that (I am hardly ever around the computer anymore).

Missing pictures show a couple pins, and the Star Wars cockpit.

The Stunt Cycle was free, guy even delivered it, I had to fix it.

Here I am right here. I usually take the pictures, and thus do not actually appear in many of them.

As for your question. Try going up or down a mame version, and messing around with the resolution and such, or trying the windows version if you are using windows.

Did anyone else notice that the only pictures where he refers to having him in them also have a her as well--could paigeoliver actually be....a girl???  And with a baby no less!  This would explain your lack of power tools in such a power tool demanding hobby!  It would also explain the presence of beanie babies in the house!  the plot thickens....

Considering the mirror in the background and the "Space Wars" arcade... I assume the picture was taken sometime in the 70's...

Based on the way the shirt puckers around the mid-section, I would say just after the buffet ;D

Well If nothing else is to be learned from this thread, we can walk away with this--put enough arcade machines in your house and you are bound to get a hottie or two to come over and play  ;D  Just as a side note, I hope you have considered becky instead of sarah, she's smokin'... ;)

So when was the picture taken?

Is the correct answer:

A) Considering the mirror in the background and the "Space Wars" arcade... I assume the picture was taken sometime in the 70's...


B) The hottie in the belly shirt?


C) Based on the way the shirt puckers around the mid-section, I would say just after the buffet


D) the beanie babies

Chick-fil-A is indeed NEVER open on Sundays - in fact, if their products are SOLD on a Sunday (long story, but they can be sold through other channels) and it's found out, an operator (the franchise owner) can and will forfeit his unit and no longer work for them.  

I dunno about un-american, but I DO know that they generally do more in sales in 6 days than most others in that same area do in 7 days...they've not been open on a Sunday since Truett opened the original, and as long as he's alive, they will continue the practice.  After he passes, I wonder if that will continue.  There are many many things they were first in - Food courts nationwide owe their existence to them, nuggets were first made by them, strips ditto...excellent company to work for, and if they come back to my area, I'd be back on board toot-sweet.  

Never thought to google the cow, but what'd you look under?  The cow was the generic promo one, unless you have some superman glasses that allowed you to see the small as heck CFA logo!

The Star Rocket is electromechanical, mid 50s and not yet fully functional. All the individual coils and motors are working, but somehow it doesn't all come together, and it can't seem to successfully start a game, although I can manually do anything on the rear panel.

The game has a 5x5 grid at the bottom with some racquetballs in it, at game start all the balls pop up in the air and land in various spots, you pop one row at a time in attempts to get lines of balls and other patterns.
