The Tetris Pocket Player mentioned in the last video… yeah, I found one of those. Hope it’s better than the arcade thing.

Sunday Gimmick Tables post on occasional Sunday afternoons and showcasing some sort of gimmick. Despite the title, not every gimmick is displayed on a table.
Sunday Gimmick Table #38 – Tetris MyArcade Mini Arcade (Aborted)
It looked promising at first… until it wasn’t.
Sunday Gimmick Table #37 – Fake Phone Brick Thing
There are no words for something that have had words for it in other forms before… but I manage a few at the end because we require engagement or something. I dunno…
Sunday Gimmick Table #36 – All-Star Stadium Pocket Player
It’s a pocket player thing with sports games played by a guy who’s not a sports guy, so gameplay is going to be terrible regardless. As if that’s ever been an issue… meh.
Sunday Gimmick Table #35 – Street Fighter II MicroArcade Table Top Thing
A cheap and efficient way of playing Street Fighter II on your coffee table… or you could get a Switch/SteamDeck/whatever portable that can play the 30th Anniversary Collection or Arcade Stadium or whatever you have SF2 available on… or maybe play something else, instead. I guess…
Sunday Gimmick Table #34 – Super Block Arcade Thing
Another Brick Game thing… yep…
Sunday Gimmick Table #33 – Handheld Electronic Game (for ten dollars)
Happy Mother’s Day, here’s some electronic tat.
Found this at a swap meet last year, did some footage for it, and left it laying to finish off a year later and hopefully no worse for wear. A long time coming? Sure. Totally worth it? Debatable. But at least it’s done and we can all move on with our lives… such as it is.
Sunday Gimmick Table #32 – The Lost Space Invaders LCD Video From Ottawa
Recorded last year during a road trip to Ottawa. It’s one that I wanted to fix up, but never got the chance. So you’re getting it as is. At least, it’s nice and out of the way and I can get some other shit done.
Sunday Gimmick Table #31 – MrBeast Feastables Chocolate Bars
A Youtube person sells chocolate and I sample them… and I make a video for some reason sampling these things.
Sunday Gimmick Table #30 – Atari 2600+ Console
It’s an Atari 2600 looking machine that can also play 7800 games… once you’ve updated the firmware a year later.
I’ve been sitting on this one for quite a while and a large part of that was due to this being the final video to (briefly) feature Sacha in relatively good spirits before her unfortunate passing earlier this year. I miss the ol’ girl and her loss is still felt. But then I got around to doing a firmware update and filmed an extra bit with Maya in tow. So this is less about showcasing a piece of hardware and more of a proverbial passing of the dog bowl.
As to whether I’m getting the 7800+ or not? We’ll see about that one, but right now, I’m in no rush. This will do just fine.
