Welcome to VidiotArcade.com. Back in 1994 my girlfriend at the time(aka The Future Wife) was nice enough to go on a hunt to find me an arcade game for Christmas. Lucky for me she found a Donkey Kong 3 in the local classified ads. Shortly after bringing it home we knew we would have to get another one, and from there 10 were not too far behind. So remember honey... this is all your fault!!! We now consist of a family of four with two great kiddos who like to game at least as much as their Dad. Our high game count was 38 arcade games and 3 pinball machines. Currently we have 28 arcade games and 6 pinball machines. Through the years we have owned close to 100 different games and have had a blast meeting people from all over the northeast(and one in Kentucky!). We took a 4 or 5 year break from buying games while we raised our kids, but they are now old enough to know THESE GAMES RULE!!! UPDATE: 04-21-2013 Updated the Lunar Lander page since I worked on rebuilding the monitor this past week. UPDATE: 03-24-2013 Added the Lunar Lander page. UPDATE: 03-17-2013 Had two games dropped off this morning... a Lunar Lander and a Battlezone cabaret. They both are currently non-working and need some TLC. Lunar Lander is partially working and Battlezone needs a good cleaning before I even power it up. I took some pictures today so I'll add them later this week. UPDATE: 03-12-2013 Finally added the Starship Troopers page. UPDATE: 03-11-2013 Worked on X-Files this past week by adding a right-side speaker the head. To save money back in the day, Sega decided to not populate the amplifier circuit or wire the cabinet or place the speaker. I guess saving $15.32 was that important to them. Sounds much better now... go to the X-Files page to see the guide I used and some pictures of the completed modification. I also started working on a Major Havoc cabaret project... UPDATE: 02-28-2013 This update is a little different than any previous update... I was lucky enough to happen upon my website as it was in 1999. Back then I hosted it at Freeservers.com and honestly I thought they went out of business many, many years ago. I guess not because I remembered my password, logged in, and was greeted with "Welcome back after 704 weeks!". So I grabbed the web pages from games we no longer have. I have always wished I saved every page, picture, and game really that I've had but I wasn't blessed with enough brains or storage space for that. Here they are: Turbo, Mr. Do!, Jungle King(no pics), Hyper Sports, Circus, and Burgertime. Some of the verbage on those pages makes me laugh. What a different time it was and what a different person I was. UPDATE: 12-30-2012 Long time no update. This time of year I always drop off the radar to have fun with my other hobby, Christmas Lights! But that's winding down and it's time to start enjoying the games again. Man things have changed down in the VidiotArcade... I ended up selling Hang-On, Maverick and Batman Forever locally to Robot City Games and I also sold Stargate, Centipede, and the Freddy pinball to non-locals. Since we had extra room we ended up getting a Space Encounters upright, a Moon Base cocktail, and a Starship Troopers pinball. I'll try to get some web pages up for all of them soon. UPDATE: 08-19-2012 Picked up a Return of the Jedi towards the beginning of the month and I finally got around to adding the page. Also just added the Sega Hang-On page while I was at it. UPDATE: 08-10-2012 We held the annual "Vidiot for a Day" party last weekend and this year we finally remembered to take pictures! The turn out was fantastic... everybody seemed to have a great time... and almost all the games cooperated! For more pictures that were taken throughout the day, click here and here... Enjoy!
