NINTENDO 'PLAYCHOICE' AD | 1990

Retro Arcade Afternoon: The Write-up!

Almost the first thing you see when you enter is the giant, double-size Hercules pinball by Atari, twice as big as a regular pinball game, which I also think uses a pool cue ball instead of a regular pinball ball. It's not up & running, and I don't think it has been for years.

The first thing I did was try my hand at my favorite, Galaga. Managed to brute-force my way to 134,580 at level 21, but that was not my best playing. I think that particular machine has a flaky joystick : /

Moved over to Butterfly, IIRC, which is a Spanish-made game, apparently. Old electro-mechcanical pinball. – The first one I played that day. Love to hear the little dings and bells of the score increasing.

Gave Attack from Mars a whirl, then tried the original Frogger in an original cabinet for the first time ever. Noticed the little Gremlin logo on the marquee (above).

Tried a little Super Mario Brothers on an original cab, and then Contra (for the first time) on a Play Choice cabinet.

Had a quick go at the Back to the Future trilogy machine by Data East. Nice art, appreciate them including all 3 films.

I liked Black Knight 2000. Lotta nice flashing lights on this, and some cool art. High fives for the entire Black Knight 2000 team.

Have to call out the wild and weird playfield on the Gottlieb Haunted House – three separate levels, with their own flippers = 8 flippers on this machine. And two sets of buttons for them, which I originally could not figure out. Great backglass art.

This entire lawsuit subplot in Open Heart is bizarre because...medical malpractice insurance is a thing? And a lawsuit against Esme literally wouldn’t cost the hospital any money?

I was on partial hiatus for most of May to focus on my mental health, so there weren’t many fics, but thank you to those who supported the ones I did write 💖

This chapter just read stupid to me 😅 I don't know how 'archaic' Cordonia's laws are, there is no way another person would be accepted as representative of a Great House at the very last minute to vote on something of national consequence while everyone knows that Olivia is very much breathing and kicking. What if she was just running late? She just doesn't get to vote because they found a relative of hers in prison to cast a vote in her place?

Also if we follow this logic then they should have just knocked out Adelaide then asked Madeleine to vote on behalf of her House. It doesn't make sense, and Cordonian laws being archaic doesn't excuse this silliness.
