3D Printing Sega Keys
One of my arcade machines has only one key, so I tried to 3D print a duplicate. It worked! With some real caveats.

The Joys of Retro Gaming
A prospective buyer on Ebay asked if one of my games actually worked. Well, I don’t know, let’s test it! How much effort could that possibly take?

Things Change
“They’re firing!” Speaking rapidly, staring at a screen. “No, it’s a launch, looks like a boarding action.” The captain didn’t hesitate. “Right. We knew they might.
