I have a bunch of Video Game Mania links in my archive page, but they're pretty old and it occurred to me that a lot of people don't know what they're all about. So I wrote this!

Re: Intro to Video Game Mania
This definitely helps since, even as a long-time reader, I don't know if I had ever seen the Video Game Mania pages before. This explains them and puts the links all in one place.
Really sounds like it's time to bring it back. I read through the VGM 5 page and it sounds like a blast. Then, as a huge fan of Tapper, I clicked through the other pages to compare my high score (52,975) to the VGM scores haha. Do you still have that machine in the collection? That's one I hope to add someday. It's pretty pricey by arcade cabinet standards, so you lucked out getting it way back then.
P.S. The link for VGM X isn't working.

Re: Intro to Video Game Mania
Yeah I still have the Tapper machine, notable because it's the original Budweiser model and not a converted root beer game. I did have to fix it up a bit. It was very rough around the edges so I installed some wooden trim which made all the difference.
I fixed the VGX link - thanks.
