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 – February 2016 These shots are of the 2-car side of the garagecade. There have been some significant changes since the last photo set. Tron is gone. Gravitar/Black Widow is gone.

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 ..

Over the last year or so that I have been tinkering with the ARpiCADE, one thing has become increasingly clear. One of the biggest hurdles to people creating their own custom lists of games or those wanting to change emulators for a particular ROM is the ‘ROMLIST’. Some folks don’t have any idea what they ..
Manufactured by Data East (c)1992 Condition When Purchased: B+ Current Condition: A- Lethal Weapon 3 is a DMD pinball machine by Data East.
