Rebound (Atari, 1974) a comeback brings the boasting! #atari #arcade

On this day rock lost its heaviest right foot. Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham choked on his own vomit after a 40-shot vodka marathon: an exit so chaotic the band broke up rather than replace him. Our undisputed #1 rock drummer ever. Where do you rank him? https://t.co/MMGVokmFZj

Did you know the guy who (probably) coined the word "video game" is still alive?

Eddie Adlum: Founding editor of RePlay, early rock 'n roller, and writer of obscure horror movies.

Somebody needs to make a documentary about this man.

Have a bunch of arcade manuals for sale on eBay. If interested, I'm willing to deal directly, just shoot me a DM

There's a bronze age video game discord server. Please join if you are a fan of coin-op video games from the 70s. Maybe even some EM talk, too

This is a total bummer. I had hoped to have made it out there at some point.

Rest in peace @Grinkers Grand Palace. Gone too soon. 😢

[Arcade 72 @arcade1972]

@katewillaert Had a chance to buy one, but it was missing the pcb. This was years ago. A couple are floating around. I'll dig up pics later

あれっ…タイトーって、ELEPONG IIなんて出してたっけ? セガのポントロンに対するポントロンIIみたいなもの…? アミューズメント産業誌1974年2月号より

@GamerAstral @crt_bot2 @game_whisperer It's quite unusual to see an arcade game without monitor. I imagine it was a unit from a hotel? I'd like to know more about it. Manufacturer, for one.

[Arcade 72 @arcade1972]

@GameResearch_E I've found out a lot more about it's development recently. Stay tuned!

Recent pickup, US Billiards (US Billiards, 1976) early microprocessor game. Supposedly, it was in development for 18 months. This is possibly the last one still around.
