Arcade Visit: Draftcade, Kansas City, MO

While my family was in Lawrence, Kansas over a weekend in May for my son’s college graduation (kid just earned his Master’s Degree in Architecture, you know, no big deal or anything), we spent a day visiting a few fun places in Kansas and right across the state line in Missouri. Kansas City boasts a few arcades/barcades, including an Up-Down location (see my visit to Up-Down in Des Moines, Iowa, which I also visited on a trip to see my kid), but from what I saw online, the one that intrigued me the most was Draftcade.

Much like Up-Down, Draftcade is a small chain with a location in KC, one in Toledo, Ohio, and another in Richmond, Virginia. They seemed to feature a decent collection of video games and pinball, as well as Skee-Ball (which will always convince Mrs. SuperHyper to accompany me to an arcade), and of course drinks and food.

“Reverse” = REBIRTH?!

As I wrote in a post this past summer, Taito is releasing the Taito LD Game Collection in Japan later this year, including HD remasters of their three animated laserdisc arcade classics Time Gal, Ninja Hayate, and Space Battleship Yamato. It was also noted that the collector’s edition would include a serial code for a bonus game, called Time Gal Reverse. But what is it?

Taito LD Game Collection, or That Time I Willed a Game Into Existence

Remember when I wrote an article called Never Say Never, about games I never thought would come out, but did? And in that article, I had a short list of dream games that I still thought would never actually be released, and one of them was a Time Gal HD Remaster?

Well…guess what Taito just announced.

Dragon’s Lair Replicade: The RGSH Test

Spoiler alert: If you’ve watched my unboxing video or followed my Instagram or read my Tweets or been anywhere near me since it came out, you know that I absolutely freakin’ LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine. So if you came here looking for someone to drag it through the mud(men), go put your quarter in someone else’s blog, because I’m about to gush over this thing like the lava geyser in the electric cage scene.

Grails

“Hey Teej,” I hear you saying, “After almost 40 years of video game playing and collecting, what is your ultimate Holy Grail? Also, you’re looking particularly handsome today.” Well, thank you, and yes, I’m so glad you asked that question! If I won the lottery, was independently wealthy, got to spend someone else’s money, or was just plain financially irresponsible, what would I buy from that great mythical reef store that has everything I’ve ever dreamed of? This totally self-indulgent article has those answers! Continue reading “Grails” →

Okay, so if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, it’s been established that I’m a geek for laserdisc games. With that said, I recently dove back into that rabbit hole and came up with something interesting: a game I had never heard of, hidden in plain sight.
