Back in the Barthcade for this episode. Since most of us went to the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show, we go over all the games we played up in Washington. There is a little laser talk and some monitor tech talk. Brian gets a JROK ZooQ board and we play Omega Race as our competition game and we talk about game strategies and cabinet variations. We even went for a pre-show ride in Brian's recently acquired '67 VW Beetle.

This week I'm looking at two of the CBS Electronics Ram Plus games, Tunnel Runner and Omega Race, as well as the Booster Grip controller! Thanks for your patience this week, and thanks again for the donations, it is greatly appreciated. I think I have settled on a mixer so I can record the sounds from the 2600 itself, and also, I think I may be able to use that to play the audio submissions live so you can hear me react to them. My current mixer is a Kitchen Aid, so that one won't work. Next episode will be about Sky Skipper and Tutankham by Parker Brothers, so if you have any feedback on those games or games I've already covered, please send it to 2600gamebygame@comcast.net, or 2600gamebygame@gmail.com.

In this episode, I invite my long time friend Ken Lilly on the show for conversations about about arcade collecting in the 1990's, and of course pinball! We introduce a new show segment, "Stupid Ebay Stuff", and also welcome a behind the scenes episode editor/commentator, Vic, the podcast droid.
