IT doesn't hurt that several other companies have tried to copy their model of the bar-arcade and will snap up anything in good condition. (side note, if anyone wants to get away one evening over to Free Play, they are amazing. One of the largest collections of uprights anywhere and they rotate the selection constantly. Plus they pride themselves on keeping their machines the originals instead of emulators and do all of their own maintenance in house.) Only been to the one in Richardson. Where is the closest one to the con? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 3rd in... Alexandria? I forget and don't know the area. But they ship machines between locations, too.

I forget not everyone watches that, so might not know how they came about. I put them up to let other people who wanted in on the fun get them (and hopefully all wear them Saturday at the con). I had noticed those, although more by luck than intent--I only watch about half of the Reaper Live episodes. It probably says something about me that it was a higher priority in my mind to get t-shirts done before I've even booked plane tickets... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in arlington is very nice though But the one in denton only has a $6 cover, with all the games set to (ahem) free plays. The ones in arlingotn and richardson are $11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Arlington, that was the other place. Denton's selection on their website was pretty good. Good enough I might see about a side trip... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have a 2 player version of the Simpsons arcade cabinet.... If someone wanted to fund the cost of a Uhaul I could bring it. (Don't want to risk getting it rained on plus my little truck is already fairly full.) It also has removable game cartridges could have other games... Although I think the best route would be to build a RaspberryPi cabinet and have ALL THE GAMES. If a Gauntlet cabinet showed up, I think I'd have to give up the Hobby Hijinks area so I cold camp out there. (and get ridiculed by @buglips*the*goblin every time I shot the food) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the three (I, II, or Legends) to be found. But Free Play might be close by, and might have one of 'em.

Always a good thing to get away from the Con at least once while there. Con is awesome &so is the location, but again nice to get out & do things else where while you're there. I'd be in if I was going this year! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson_king_of_the_tower Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Does anyoneknow if Anne Forster wil actually be at reapercon? I think she's the only person on my list I didn't get to meet last time. On 6/24/2019 at 7:08 PM, Cygnwulf said: well, Who wants to go en-mass over to Free Play on Thursday or Friday night?
