From a range of voxel art tributes to childhood game nostalgia I made in the 2000s.

As there were no voxel editors (Minecraft didn't exist yet), I made the works by extruding polygons in 3ds Max.

Some high-res images from this series are available here…

Elvira's House of Horrors, Stern 2019.

I'm so glad my two previous favorites of pinball history got the 3rd game to follow them. So much love went into theming it, from Cassandra's commentary to custom video segments and all the crappiest movies from Movie Macabre revival.

It's also damn pretty machine and unlike Party Monsters and Scared Stiff, it has a relatively deep rule set.

Mechanically this is one of my least favorite Sterns, so many annoying design choices that need constant fixing or the huge QA issues it had.

I proudly present:

My little ATARI Arcade with the beloved Atari 2600+, the "The Atari 400 Mini" (Atari 8-Bit computers) and the Atari 7800+, which is new in my collection.

Now I can play ALL Atari 8-Bit games, including homebrew games. Back in the day, I never owned an Atari computer. They were too expensive, but I started the videogame craze with the ATARI VCS 2600 with this exact design

Hi!
I'm trying to find a game I used to play on arcades in the 80's. Can't remember its name or editor, so I am left with just a description.

I think I came across it on #mame a few years ago, but lost track of it.

It's a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up, where the player impersonates a chopper.

The chopper firing range varies depending on the movement... i.e. if you move forward on the screen, the chopper tilts forward and it's able to shoot targets on the ground, while when steady it shoots only flying enemies. When leaning left and right the chopper not only slides, but turns a little bit, so that the shoots are angled.
Targets you can find: choppers, planes, ground vehicles and buildings, and also cows and soldiers.
