THE ARCADE BONEYARD
|
Besides being the owner of a full-size video game (Asteroids) I have a lot
of interest in the entire Arcade industry, going back several decades. One
field of study I've delved into is collecting pictures of machines that
have had their insides ripped out and replaced with other games than they
were designed for. Some of these items become works of art in themselves.

JASON'S SCANNED PHOTOGRAPH SCRAPBOOK
|
As you would expect, I've had a lot of pictures taken of me over time. I
would find a funny one, scan it in, and put it up. You can now browse
through all the pictures I've amassed, in one place.

THE CHECKER MARATHON
|
I am the proud owner of a 1978 Checker Marathon, which most people identify
as being a classic form, massive leg-room New York Taxi. Now there's less
than 3,000 still running, and I'm still learning things about it.
Everything I'm learning, I'm going to be putting up on this site.

JASON SURE LIKES TO DRAW STUFF
|
In college, I was drawing a heck of a lot; something like 5 or 10 drawings
a day. In class, in my dorm, wherever I could find a flat surface. Some of
it was pretty OK, so I've been scanning the best stuff and sticking it in
this directory.

5 WOMEN GAMERS REDISCOVER LOST LOVES
|
For some reason, this article about a collection of money-laden ladies
from New York City travelling down to Virginia to buy some old video games
charmed me enough for me to transcribe it and scan the pictures. It's
simple stuff, but how often do these articles go by, anyway? They're all
proud they were able to capture a little childhood. A chintzy story, but
like I said, I was charmed.

JASON'S MOVIELAND FAN PAGE
|
I steadfastly refuse to explain why I like this obscure band from the
1980's so much. But I've put up a page with all the information I have
on them in the hope that I'll find much more.
