If you’ve owned and loved an N64, you probably have a few worn out joysticks. In addition to our GameCube-styled replacement N64 joystick, we’ve found an option that feels and looks a lot more like the original. If you’ve seen our other N64 joystick repair video, this process is pretty similar. Here’s another great option! It’s made by RepairBox and seems to have a solid [...]
Every kid dreams… Some kids dream about arcades… Some kids named Quan dream about shrinking arcades and putting them in their backpacks! While I may have been awestruck by the Neo Geo MVS as a kid, Quan at ArcadeWorks.net took his dream to an entirely different level. He’s one of those nutty, mad-scientist guys who loves to do things to old arcade machines that even [...]
We all know about the gnome who steals socks out of our laundry. But have you heard about his pixel-hungry buddy who steals battery covers off of Game Boys? How about his neighbor who snatches expansion covers off of old N64 systems? Time to fight back! We’ll be carrying several colors of replacement expansion covers for the Nintendo 64.

Oh Cheetahmen II…are you finally getting fixed?! For decades, the Cheetahmen have been locked in a bitter and futile struggle against Dr. Morbis. In Cheetahmen II, every two levels a different Cheetahmen becomes available. Theoretically, a player starts with Apollo (crossbow) for the first two levels, gets to play as Aries (fists) for the third and fourth levels, and uses Hercules (dual clubs) for the [...]
Compared to the Neo Geo MVS arcade machine, my beloved childhood Nintendo seemed like an ant among giants. In the small Michigan town where I grew up, the only arcade in town was at the local roller rink. I was simply in awe of the MVS, and perhaps even more perplexed by the idea that some kid, in a galaxy quantum leaps away, could have [...]
So, you’re playing Double Dragon and get thumped on by a big dude named Abobo… Do you lie awake wondering about Abobo’s back story? Do you ask yourself if Abobo is actually ALSO fighting to save someone he loves? Do you daydream about whether or not Abobo could fit into a Megaman suit or about whether or not he could hold his own as one [...]
Any X-Men fan knows that Magneto+metal makes for a pretty serious foe…one that very few of us would be crazy enough to tackle. Given pinball machines’ usage of steel balls, that makes him a nearly perfect villain for Stern Pinball’s newest machine.
