Some gaming / arcade updates. **Console wise:** Recently, I've been obsessed playing Donkey Kong on the SNES. I have VAGUE memories of having played it when I was 10 or 11. Actually, didn't have any memories of it until I started playing and I was like "wait a minute, this reminds me of something". I'm still not sure LOL but I'm having so much fun! Harder than I thought honestly. **Arcade Wise:** I've broken the 300K score on Rompers which places me top-15 out of 10,000 people who registered their score on the Arcade1Up. Go me! lol Since I've reached that high score, I've been a bit bored with my Class of 1981 machine. I had been playing it for over 2 months. I do occasionally play a Galaga or Galaga 88 game....and a few Ms Pac-Man ones, but I'm taking a break from this machine. I've realized that I'm REALLY into record chasing games. This is the machine I'm playing the most. Simpsons one is cool, but once you've beaten the game once, it is what it is. Tron is an eye candy. NBA Jam is fun when people are around, but vs. the AI, I don't play that often anymore. That brings me to my next machine.... MORTAL KOMBAT 30th anniversary!!!!!! I know, Johnny Cage isn't on the side art, but I still think it looks like a GORGEOUS cabinet! This will replace my actual Pac Man anniversary cab (I am out of room so when 1 comes in, one has to come out). It had PacMan, PacMan Plus, Super PacMan, Pac Mania and PacLand...honestly...boring as fuck lol! It's a classic, but I prefer Ms Pac Man over all those Pac Man games. I'm happy that this new cabinet has the MK III art, but what I'm really looking forward is the Midway classic games to chase records! This cabinet has 14 titles. Yes…14 titles! Mortal Kombat™, Mortal Kombat II™, Mortal Kombat 3™, Ultimate MK 3™, Toobin™ , Rampage™, Joust™, Wizard Of Woz™, Gauntlet™, Rootbeer Tapper™, Defender™, Bubbles™ , Paperboy™, and Klax™. ALL included. Anyhow, I should be getting it this summer, and I'll keep you all posted if you want to! **What do you think of this cabinet?**
