I don't know what I'm supposed to be reading there. The link goes to an ad and then to a page with tons of stuff.
i assume he's talking about the old skool games being released by taiko....
<<Several companies still around from the days of the stand-up arcades, most notably Midway and Namco, have packaged titles from their past library into single-disc time machines, bringing yesterday's games to today's consoles.
Taito joined the trend, by announcing Taito Legends for the PlayStation 2, PC, and Xbox, which it will publish in Europe. However, Sega today came to the rescue of nostalgic Americans by revealing that it would publish the title in North and South America.
Taito created one of the all-time great quarter-guzzlers in 1978's Space Invaders. That game, along with 28 others, will be playable in its original arcade format. Among the other highlights in Taito Legends are 1986's Bubble Bobble, featuring the bubble-blowing dragons Bub and Bob, and 1987's Operation Wolf, a Rambo-esque shooter that featured a light gun.
Taito Legends has not yet been rated by the ESRB and will be available for $19.99. A list of all 29 games is below.
•Battle Shark
•Bubble Bobble
•Colony 7
•Continental Circus
•Electric Yo-Yo
•Elevator Action
•Exzisus
•Gladiator
•Great Swordsman
•Jungle Hunt
•New Zealand Story
•Ninja Kids
•Operation Thunderbolt
•Operation Wolf
•Phoenix
•Plotting
•Plump Pop
•Rainbow Islands
•Rastan
•Return of the Invaders
•Space Gun
•Space Invaders
•Space Invaders part II
•Super Qix
•Thunderfox
•Tokio
•Tube It
•Volfied
•Zoo Keeper >>

:blah:
Oh. I only recognize like 2 titles from that list.
I really need to call Grumpus's dad and see if he wants to donate any stand up game things to the auctions.
My dad used to have a business where he rented out arcade games to arcades. He even owned an arcade at one point, but it wasn't the kind where kids hung out playing Galaga all day. It was the kind where the local low-lifes congregated at night and got drunk and played pool and pinball and video poker in the thick haze of cigarette smoke.
He did have a table Pac Man that he told me I could have but then sold it.
Grumpus's dad has a couple of arcades. But he mostly just puts his games/juke boxes/pool tables/sticker machines in other people's businesses.
He does have a Ms. Pacman in his basement. And a Centipede. And a juke box. And a bunch of pinball machines. And that shooting gallery game. And a player piano. He also usually swaps out some other game.
But he also has some warehouses full of games. Like I said, I should call him.
I want arcade games so bad! But I don't have anywhere to put them. One day when I move to a place where I can have a basement you better watch out. I'm going to have arcade games and a Rockola jukebox.

Does he have a William's Defender or Stargate he would let go cheap? I'll be in the area with a large van in a week.

Can you pick me up a table top Pac Man or Galaga and drop it off on your way back? That is if he has one and Gamp says ok. Maybe I should ask her first.
Gamp, if Grumpus's father has an extra table top Pac Man or Galaga can Big Dun load it up and bring it to me?
(Pretend I posted this message before that one to Big Dun.)

I'm thinking it's a no go.
I bet she didn't even attempt to ask.
