Pinball 2000 was Williams' last platform and in a lot of ways it was the culmination of every possible quality of life improvement they had come up with the previous generations. The idea was that you could have an extra playfield, that you just quickly swapped out at the location so you could clean and repair the old one at the privacy of your shop without a nosy drunk giving you their repair advice. Thanks to this, you can literally disconnect and remove the playfield in seconds, a thing that in many other platform takes forever and needs help to lift the playfield. It does not have the prop rod like virtually every previous machine ever had, but the playfield rails are at the very back, so when you lean it against the backbox, everything is nicely at your reach. The 1/3 pulled out position is also there for those of us who prefer to do flipper rebuilds that way. One fun detail is that you can leave the balls in the game, there's a flap that closes the ball trough when the playfield is in upright position. #pinball #arcade #repair #retrotech #mildlyinteresting

CROSSY ROAD - 4. Der Multiplayer Mein persönliches Highlight in CROSSY ROAD ist der Multiplayer. Im Grunde ist er genauso simpel, wie der Einzelspielermodus, nur, dass wir hier nicht nur für die Highscore spielen. Statdessen stehen Schadenfreude und ein teilweise herrlich unübersichtlicher Spielablauf im Mittelpunkt. #android #arcade #mobilegaming #klassiker #review #german Zum #video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGduDW1Gh/

anyone got experience using deguassing wands, such as the one pictured, on CRTs that don't have built-in degaussing coils? do they work? any sage advice from arcade & retro tech enthusiasts? the little 4-inch CRTs we used in the infopoints at EMF Camp have some nonlinear warping that isn't corrected by tweaking the deflection oscillator amplitude/phase adjustment pots, and also isn't consistent with the tube curvature, so I'm suspicious of static magnetic fields. #RetroComputing #Arcade
