TRON!!

This cab is in generally good condition, though it is in need of sanding, repainting and new side art. I plan to replace the control panel overlay and the screen shroud eventually as well. The cab plays fine. I have been wanting this one for a long time and got lucky on a local buy. I also have a Stargate coming in on Saturday. This will fill out my arcade (for now). Stay tuned for pics of the TRON restore as it progresses.

It has been a while since I posted about the Flynn Lives viral campaign for the new TRON Legacy film coming out this Holiday Season. Well, there has been a ton of activity leading up to and in conjunction with the San Diego ComicCon. All of which came to a head today as a new trailer was released for the movie.

I noticed that there was a listing on our local Craigslist for a free Millipede arcade cab. The add said the cab was in bad shape, but I had the day off and know some fellow collectors who own Millipede cabs and could use some spare parts. So I headed up to Tewksbury about 15 North of where I live to check things out. The guy who was getting rid of it (Justin) picked the cab up off a curb in Boston during college roll-out about 5 years ago, put it in his parent's garage and forgot about. He was cleaning the garage out and needed it gone. Here is what I found when I got there.

If you have been following the Crackdown 2 viral promotion lately, you know that the marketing team for this new game made their way to Boston today. By following clues posted to Twitter by @Xbox participants could follow the viral team in an effort to collect Crackdown 2 SWAG and other goodies as they visited various landmarks around town. Just my luck that this promotion would make its way to Boston on the one day that I was working on the South Shore (about 30 mintues Southeast of Boston proper).
