I’ve gone on and on so much about the Arkadia Retrocade you might think I was in fact a paid spokesperson, that is not the case of course even though I frequently am happy to share with you the retro items that have been added to the arcade’s collection. Most of the time thanks in no small part to the fans of the arcade, like the one and only Earl Green who donated this 1983 Q*bert colorform playset a couple of days ago!
As you can see he kept everything in almost mint condition.
Now granted trying to set up the Colorforms while playing the arcade game can be challenging but it’s worth it in the end.

I used to own a Ladybug arcade game. While nowhere near as cool as Q*bert, having the cabinet was cool decor. I don’t remember what I did with it, but I was young, dumb, and full of … Dumb.
There isn’t a home that will not be fancied up with the addition of an arcade cabinet, Aeryk. I know it isn’t much in the way of comfort but at least you have the memories of the Lady Bug cabinet, my friend. :)
Truly groovy Colorform action at the Arkadia, Vic buddy.
Congrats to the donor for his choice destination.
Atari, when are you going to come visit us?
Well, I’ll tell ya Vic. At the moment, it’d be easier for me to package myself and go life-sized UPS cross-country.
But it *will* happen.
(mebbe not as an Adventure Square Surprise in your mailbox, all dehydrated and chewing on bubblewrap as I say ‘hello’)
Once it does, I’ll probably be staying a bit and squatting between cabinets for a while, chasing Mouse Trap escapees back to their bezeled domains at night.
