Mikko's rant
Yesterday, I had the rare opportunity to play an even older arcade game than the ones we have in our collection. I was at this local fair - and there was an arcade tent with Hang On and Operation WolF! It was sort of amusing that someone's still operating these things for profit, but I had a go at Hang On anyway. Cool game and in mint condition, but really it should be in the loving hands of a collector by now. Apart from the arcade front, which has taken up my time for the past month or so, I also found a couple of Sega SG-1000 joysticks (!) at our local thrift store (!!!). Just guess how long I spent looking for the actual console... A totally weird find since, to my knowledge, these were never sold in Finland.
