Garagecade – October 2018

Reminiscent of 2017,  I find myself toward the end of the year and not a single Garagecade Photos entry added.  Unlike last year,  however,   this year I only managed to wait until mid-October,  rather than the very end of November to make my mark.  Also unlike last year,  there has been some changes to the ..

Garagecade 2007

Garagecade – May 2007 The beginnings of a garagecade. At this point I had two MAME cabinets (horizontal & vertical),  Joust,  and a Multi Donkey Kong (running a 60-in-1 at the time). As you can see in the last photo, the "2 car" side of the 3-car garage was occupied by more garage oriented things, ..

Garagecade – January 2008 By January 2008 I'd added Tempest to the mix.  Not a bad start to 2008! Garagecade – March 2008 By March I'd bought my first Galaga and restored it.  It was a Gallag actually and it was in a Galaxian/Pac Man cabinet. Garagecade – April 2008 My first pinball machine was ..

Garagecade – February 2010 By February 2010 I had not just one,  but TWO Punch Out cabinets.  One was fully restored and was kept a Punch Out.  The 2nd was mostly restored and converted to a Super Punch Out.  I sold Punch Out and had Super Punch Out for a while but preferred the original ..

Garagecade 2011

Garagecade – January 2011 By the first of the year 2011 I'd acquired a Star Castle.  Having grown up playing Star Castle (not very well I might add) it was exciting to add one to the garagecade. Garagecade – June 2011 Not a ton happened in the first 6 months of 2011 in the garagecade.  ..

Garagecade 2013

Garagecade – May 2013 I took a bit of a break from taking photos of the gameroom for a while.  As you can see though,  there have been many changes from the 2012 photos to these… I picked up a showcase cabinet which became a dedicated multi gun cabinet.  I also picked up Rush 2049 ..

Garagecade – April 2014 Here is a video walk-thru of the garagecade as of April 18th, 2014. Garagecade – July 2014 Things have slowed down considerably compared to the early years of collecting.  A lack of space + the the fact that I am less apt to tackle full restorations + the fact that my ..

Garagecade – February 2015 Here are the first shots of the garagecade from 2015.  These were taken a couple days before I picked up Gyruss from a fellow collector in the Salt Lake City area.  I'm sure you'll see it in the next series of photos I take. Garagecade – September 2015 While there hasn't ..

Garagecade – November 2017 Here it is… the last day of November 2017… and I pretty much just realized that I'd not posted a single "Garagecade" update for exactly ONE YEAR as of tomorrow.  I've been slippin'…  That said, it doesn't help that there hasn't been a whole heck of a lot going on new in ..

JULY 6, 2019: I’ve discovered another small bug in one of my layouts.  This time it’s the Diamondplate layout and the bug had to do with the gameslist (logos or text) appearing through the marquee window when there is no art present (my test-bed has “NO ART” placeholders hence the reason I didn’t detect the ..
