It’s true. But she deserved it! She was trying to eat humans that I already had my eye on. No, we are not ready for the looney bin yet (though very close!)…we were playing Rampage:

I just picked this up today in Stratford, CT. This game is awesome. You get to be one of 3 monsters, obviously stolen from monster movies…King Kong, Godzilla, and the Wolfman. This game was in a warehouse that also had some other games in it. Nothing that I had room for or would be interested in except for this. Unfortunately, it was loaded with mold like my Space Invaders. I think it must have been in a damp location at one point, but it didn’t have any water damage. Just loads of mold:

It took me hours to clean it up in the driveway. My neighbors must have thought I was nuts! I looked like I was from outerspace with my mask, safety goggles and other hazmat equipment. I took all the boards out first. Then I vaccuumed all the mold out, and sprayed the entire insides down with Zep cleaner/disinfectant. I let it sit for awhile, and then wiped down every square inch inside with Zep again. Hopefully I got it all…

Before I put the boards back in, I sprayed them with the air hose to get any loose mold off. I followed that by cleaning the entire outside with some Fantastik with anti-bacterial goodness. Mmmm….love that anti-bacterial goodness. After finally getting it cleaned up, I put some new locks in and rolled it inside.

It works OK, but has a bit of a glitch that I haven’t had a chance to look at yet. The monitor tends to flicker after you play for awhile. The control panel overlay is pretty warn out, so if you know where I can get one please let me know.
