Chris Moates’ adventures in the land of Mox

Finally, tonight I was able to play my first game on my restored Bride of Pinbot. I acquired the game 2, maybe 3 years ago, and spent the last several months working on it heavily. It plays great, and it looks fantastic, considering the amount of damage it has undergone.

There’s still a few niggles; a couple of lights don’t work right, and I need to resolve an issue where a few switches don’t always register, but it’s playable and it’s as much fun as I remember.

I was also able to fix the Truck Stop that my friend Eric broke last Wednesday. So now all 7 games in my main lineup are playable again. For those keeping score at home, the current lineup changed quite a bit in the last two months. I currently have the following games set up:

• Scared Stiff
• The Addams Family
• Jurassic Park
• Truck Stop
• White Water
• Star Trek: The Next Generation
• The Machine: Bride of Pinbot

Next up is to design custom art for the front of my cabinet and have it printed. Oh, and I think I’m gonna modify the game with a subwoofer too.
