Spiderman returns to Pizza West and replaces Johnny Mnemonic. Sorry for Johnny’s short stay, but the hand broke for the second time during its short tenure and I’d had enough. The current lineup is Doctor Who, Indiana Jones (Stern), Iron Man, The Simpsons Pinball Party, Spiderman, Theatre of Magic, and Tri Zone.
2014 Shawnee Open
I have posted final results and a write up of the 2014 Shawnee Open.
Old vs. New
I typed the following on a forum post and figured I may as well throw it up here. It is just some of my thoughts on using original circuit boards vs. buying new:
Some people want things original. There’s nothing wrong with running the old boards. One person may not like it, one may prefer it. I’ve certainly seen a fair amount of problems with brand new stuff. And often a new board doesn’t solve the problem because the actual issue is something else. I’ve seen new boards damaged because the original problem was not correctly repaired. In the end a new board didn’t save the owner any time or money.

Attack From Mars

AFM will probably only be in Pizza West for a few months. So if you’ve wanted to play this game in the wild, now is your chance. Don’t miss it.
