Arcade Hunters at Richie Knucklez
Aug 10th
I need to visit Richie Knucklez’ place, especially after seeing this video from Arcade Hunters. I must play all of those good games in their natural habitat. MAME be damned!
Yes, it’s especially strange that Paperboy was counted as a shooter on a major shmup forum’s list of greatest shooters, even though I believe it received one vote.
Billy Mitchell Regains Donkey Kong World Record
Aug 8th
and the beat goes on…
Via GameRoomMag:
A new high score record is made public by Twin Galaxies. Billy Mitchell’s score of 1,062,800 points passes Hank Chien’s record score of 1,061,700 points for Donkey Kong. To make matters more interesting for those keeping score at home, Billy also became the new Donkey Kong Jr. champ with a score of 1,270,900. Both scores were verified live at Boomers-Grand Prix Arcade in Florida by veteran Twin Galaxies referees Todd Rogers and Morning Dove Mahoney.
Congratulations, Billy.

Dtoid Penn NARP at 8 on the Break!
Feb 16th
Destructoid group, Dtoid Penn are going to the 8 on the Break arcade in Dunellen, NJ. This is convenient, because I’m going to be there anyway to get in some pinball practice for the Scott’s Place Tournament as well as to prepare for the next season of the Jersey Pinball Association. Hey, I’ve got to defend the League Championship.
Where and When:
Friday, February 19, 8:00 PM
8 on the Break
340 North Avenue, Dunellen, NJ
“Be there, dammit!”
-JT IceFire
I’ll be there!
Arcade Hunters Revisits 8 on the Break
Feb 9th
Anytime my “home arcade” is featured, I have to post about it. Once again Nick! does a great job detailing some of the changes that have happened at “The Break” since his last visit. I wish he would visit during one of our league nights (Wednesdays) so that he, and his crew, could meet some of the pinball regulars. Speaking of which, the next season of the Jersey Pinball Association is set to start in early March. I’m sure that I speak for all of the members of the League when I say that pinball players of all skill levels are welcome to compete.
Pinball News covers Big Buck Hunter
Jan 21st
Pinball News provides coverage of the new Big Buck Hunter Pro pinball game from STERN, Inc. So far there are high res pictures of the playfield along with an introduction on the rules and features of the game. Keep this page on Pinball News bookmarked. As with previous Pinball News reviews, I expect that this initial coverage will soon be accompanied by recordings of the game’s sounds as well as a more detailed description of the game’s scoring features and modes. This game looks promising so far. Plus, this new pinball game is a natural compliment for any bar/amusement area that already has a Big Buck Hunter light gun arcade game.
