Ferg's live stream... Ferg's Youtube Channellook for the video with "LIVE" written across it (Ferg & Sarah are bailing and doing the pokemon thing soon, but the stream will no doubt be active again on their return)
Thanks for the YouTube link iddod! I'll be sure to tune in! Best of luck Ferg, what you're doing is awesome!!!

Oops! I thought I was losing my marbles because I was positive I remembered you covering it. Then it hit me! Didn't you talk about it in your top ten games episode? I wrote down the games from your list that I had never played before so I could try them out. Turns out that's how I discovered Frankenstein's Monster. Thanks!

I have played a few games of Frankenstein's Monster recently. That is a great game although I find it difficult, (maybe it's just me)?! I knew of the game but never played it until Ferg covered it on a recent episode. As far as playing games with my kids go (they're 5 & 8). We play a lot of Indy 500 mainly the tag variation. We always have a blast screaming and laughing at the TV!

I have great memories of it being cold and bleak outside (back when we actually had fall), and being warm inside with my new games. I know exactly what mean Ferg!!

Awesome story Starbuck66, That's so cool playing Atari with your daughter! Sounds like you guys had a great time! I love playing Atari with my kids too. Growing up in eastern Pa the fall / winter was always when we played the most Atari l. (It still is for that matter!) With the shorter days and cooler temperatures you couldn't go wrong staying inside and firing up the 2600!

Strudders does your Lunar Rescue have a color monitor or is it black & white with color overlays? I installed the Braze technologies Space Invaders multi game / Hi score save kit in my cab and it has Lunar Rescue on it along with other games that run on the Space Invaders hardware. The kit is drop dead simple to install and I was wondering if it would be possible install it in your Lunar Rescue cab? I think you would really enjoy it if you could! www.brasington.org/arcade/products/sim/

Hi Flack, You know I never heard of that until recently and I believe I heard it on one of your podcasts or read it on your website? Am I remembering that correctly? I grew up watching Speed Racer reruns with my older brothers and always liked Snake Oiler! I still say he should have won the Alpine race! I recently picked up some of the DVD's and now my kids love it too! Try to get away with smoking violence and death in a cartoon today!!!

Thanks guys! Yes I have restored most of them, I really enjoy that aspect of the hobby even though I still have a lot to learn. For the most part I look for games that aren't working and bring them back. Seems like that's where the best deals are. Cleaning up the cab and restoring the artwork is one of my favorite parts. As far as the DK upgrade goes no I haven't put that kit in but I'd like to at some point. I did however put the Braze Tech Hi score save / multi kit in my Space Invaders. Wow Strudders I didn't realize cabs were that expensive over there! That's a bummer but I'd like to know what's in the Strudders man cave? And Ferg... Could we some pics of you guitars???

Did anyone happen to catch The Goldberg's on Wednesday night (10/12/16). The show is set in the 80's and Adam one of the main characters was wearing an Atari Berzerk tee shirt! Also the episode was set around the computer lab at their school and they referenced a lot of classic games!

Black Country Communion Live Over Europe double CD. Yes I still buy my music on CD's and I love live albums! Give this a listen if you like 70's style rock. Awesome musicians too, Glenn Hughes, Jason Bohnam, Joe Bonamassa. Here's a link to a studio version of one of my favorites m.youtube.com/watch?v=hy6WLBvBXaI

Touching story Rup. And it sounds like you have quite a man-cave! What arcade games have you got ? +1 for seeing pet pictures Maybe Ferg needs to create a new category I have a 1 year old cat called Jiji. Have been nagging my wife to get one for years (as I grew up with cats) but she was not a 'cat person'. Now we have a cat she is the biggest cat fan in the world ! Thanks strudders! By the way I'm a big fan of your segment on the show! You and the Mini do a fantastic job! As far as my games go I have a Space Invaders, Mat Mania, Sprint 2, Donkey Kong, a Dynamo Jamma cab with a 60 in 1 in it and a 1974 Gottlieb "Duotron" em pinball machine.
