Over a year ago, I traded a Hogan’s Alley for a Pengo from Tim Hill (MudManTim). Like most of my “keepers” I planned on restoring it. I also try to complete all my restorations with a nice clean owners manual with the original schematics.

This past weekend I managed to scan the side-art of my two Exidy games. Those games being “Mouse Trap” and “Venture”. It really made me feel good that I’m doing my part to help preserve another piece of arcade history.

Detailing Exidy Mouse Trap – Part 1

In January I let one of my restored games go for a an Exidy Mouse Trap and an Atari Asteroids. I’ve wanted a Mouse Trap for some time so I quickly got it to the basement so I could start detailing it and getting it into the lineup. After a short distraction due to another game, I was finally able to use the last few weeks to get Mouse Trap looking real nice and ready for the game room.
Back in October I finally was able to play a dedicated Gottlieb Mad Planets and loved everything about it. I wasn’t very good but something about the game play that was very different from anything I have ever played. Even the wife was entranced by it, especially the rhythmic music and sound effects which very much surprised me. What surprised me even more was the comment from the wife asking “Why don’t you own a Mad Planets?”.

Being that Richard was looking for a restored or a mint original DK Jr. and I was thinking of selling mine I figured I’d contact him.
