[game_preservation] Marvin's

[Melanie Swalwell]

This is an amazing website.  A great find: it has heaps of info on 
electro mechanical arcade games -- http://marvin3m.com/arcade/index.htm  
-- including got posters, photos, manufacturers' info, etc.    Most  
helpful for my current project: an exhibition of documentary photos 
taken in arcades (or other spaces with arcade machines) in the 1970s and 
80s in New Zealand.  Many are at the crossover of electro-mechanical to 
video.  I will let the list know when it's online (due to launch next 
month).

Has anyone been to Marvin's and played the games?

You just gotta love collectors!
