Capcom Mini Cute Restoration 1
The Capcom Mini Cute arcade cabinet was launched in Japan during 1991; which for older readers of this blog is probably a frightening thought: 30 years ago! Primarily aimed at kids, it stands at just 1300mm tall, resulting in one of the most diminutive arcade cabinets ever released. As a result, this all-steel games machine…

Classic Arcade Gaming Quiz!
If you’re a regular Arcade Blogger reader, you might recall that back in November 2018, I made my annual trip to The Free Play Florida event in Orlando – read my review here. Each year, I am asked to get involved with the event organisation in some way. This year we decided to try out…
Game Room Tour: The Les Potts Collection
I’ve got to know many UK-based arcade collectors over the years. It’s fair to say that each approaches the hobby in a different way. Some take a technical approach to arcade games – delving deep into the repair side of things in a quest to understand how cabinets work and figuring out ways to maintain…
