11.8.2012 - Rare White Pinball
Just a little update this time, but a pretty cool one :)
Atari- Dan Kramer (ex-Atari hardware guru) sent me some photos of Atari's unreleased pinball prototype, Neutron Star, which was really great of him, I love hearing from developers :)
- While I was there I added Road Runner, 4x4 and Pipeline (all Prototypes) to the Atari Pinball page as well,
Cheers,
Toby
5.8.2012 - The "Brian made me do it" Update
- 3 days in a row...?
- Most of this update comes thanks to Brian Troha, who packaged things up in a nice easy to chew way :)
- There's loads of other stuff I want to say, but that can wait until I've had some time to write stuff on the train!
Capcom - Added better screenshots to Janpai Puzzle Choukou, Jyangokushi: Haoh no Saihai and Hyper Street Fighter 2: The Anniversary Edition on CP System II Hardware thanks to Brian Troha.

- Added PCB pictures to Blockade Hardware, G80 Vector Hardware and Gigas Hardware.
Taito - Moved Raizin Ping Pong to Taito Type-Zero Hardware, thanks to Guru.

Other - Added Linky Pipe, Iron Fortress, Steal See and Candy Candy to Eolith Gradation 2D System, including screenshots, thanks to Brian Troha.

Cheers,
Toby
4.8.2012 - How Rare!
- I know right! 2 days in a row? What's all that about!
- For those of you that missed it, I have a facebook page (the like button is down there on the left hand side at the bottom of the menu), don't worry, I hardly ever use it so won't be spamming you, but I do tend to post there when I've done an update, and being as sporadic as my updates tend to be it's quite a good way to find out when I've updated the site ;)
- P.S. I can't afford a plane ticket to go to California Extreme from the UK, so I missed it again this year, sucks to be me, but once again, there were some amazing machines there, you really should go if you ever get the chance.
- Some absolute crackers in this update, especially Last Survivor making an appearance, how great is that!
Capcom - Moved Ken Sei Mogura from CPS2 to CPS Hardware, thanks to Layne, and cleaned up the cabinet picture.

- Totally overhauled (and renamed) the Shooting Gallery Hardware page, thanks to Bobby Tribble for the inspiration (yes I added this last update, but I didn't want it lost!)
Taito - Added a Cycle Mahbou Hardware page and added a new game (crikey!) Cycle Mahbou and moved Sky Destroyer from the Unknown Pre 1990 page (woo hoo!) to it.

- Gone through and removed a lot of duplicates in licensed hardware where they already exist in different sections.
Other Bits - Been sitting here today doing the update whilst watching Team GB storm the rowing, cycling and athletics at the Olympics, I don't often feel patriotic, but I'm feeling pretty great (and drunk! hic!) about it tonight :)
- Assembly Summer 2012 is also on at the moment, if you're into that sort of thing check out TBC's 1K demo and Spacecut demo by cncd,
Cheers,
Toby
3.8.2012 - Regular updates, hahaha, ahem.
- Just a quick drive by update, currently working out how to re-jig some things on the site so that I can do some updating in my 4 hour a day commute...
Sega - Totally overhauled (and renamed) the Shooting Gallery Hardware page, thanks to Bobby Tribble for the inspiration.
- Added better Sonic Championship screenshots to Model 2B CRX Hardware.

11.12.2011 - The apologetic Gregf update...
- I've been meaning to clear up a few things for a while from the various places people post information for me, and this takes care of a certain forum lurker, thanks to Gregf for most of these updates :)
- In other news, I've changed the way that the site works a little. It always annoyed me that I had, for example, Naomi split over 3 or 4 different sections, so now it's all under Sega with just pointers from the other sections (e.g. Capcom/Namco etc.).
It still needs some slight tweaking but I'm happier with it this way already.

Cheers,
Toby
