First off, let me state that this is not a best of list. This is a list of the games for the DS that I have enjoyed the most. I am not a huge RPG player so there are only a few on the list. I really enjoy puzzle games so that list will have a bunch of those on it. The list is in no particular order (as that changes almost daily as I play or replay games). Here are the games:
Professor Layton
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the WarLords
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime
Disgaea DS
Geometry Wars: Galaxies
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Orignal Adventures
Luminous Arc 2
Picross DS
Planet Puzzle League
Worms Open Warfare
Tetris DS
New Super Mario Brothers
Super Mario 64 DS
the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Bust-a-Move
New York Times Crosswords
Retro Game Challenge
Mario Kart DS
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
Peggle Dual Shot

Due to my love of Halloween I’ve decided to watch 100 horror movies (started on July 29th) before midnight on the 31st of October. So far I’ve watched:
100. House of Wax (2006)
99. 30 Days of Night
98. Alien
97. Ghost Ship
96. The Unborn
95. My Bloody Valentine 3-D
94. Rest Stop Don’t Look Back
93. Tombs of the Blind Dead
92. The Eye (remake)
91. Resident Evil
90. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
89. Resident Evil: Extinction
88. Urban Legend
87. Urban Legends: Final Cut
86. The Descent
85. Prom Night (2008)
84. House on Haunted Hill (1999)
83. Evil Dead
82. Zombie Strippers
81. Final Destination
My recommendations: stay away from Tombs of the Blind Dead (makes absolutely no sense), Prom Night (2008), Zombie Strippers, & Rest Stop: Don’t Look Back. Only watch My Bloody Valentine, Ghost Ship, and 30 Days of Night if you are really into cheesy horror movies. Personally, I’d stick with the Resident Evils (much better than I would’ve thought they would be), Alien, House of Wax, Evil Dead, the Descent, and Urban Legend

I took a few hours this morning and finished stripping out the cocktail table. Pretty much the only hardware left is actually holding together the structure of the cabinet. Now, I begin some minor repair work and get the thing reassembled. The only problem that I’m going to have to overcome at the moment is that it looks like I’ll need to replace the joys as they’re basically structured totally for 2-way movement and I really want a 4-way stick, at least, in the cabinet. Here’s what it look’s like now:

Tonight, I worked on taking everything out of the cocktail so that I can fix up the outside/repaint it and start from scratch when I’m adding everything back in.
It started out like this:

And ended up like this:

I only had time to do a little bit of work on my cocktail project this weekend. The Cocktail table was/currently is an Astro Blaster that is playing blind (the monitor is having problems with either the horizontal or vertical hold). Instead of screwing with that I have decided to strip out the components inside, throw in a 13″ computer monitor (decased), and use a 48-in-1 board (though, I will edit what roms are on it). So far I have stripped out all 5 boards that comprised the Astro Blaster game and removed the metal case that they were enclosed in. The cabinet itself will need one leg shored up and a little paint but is in overall great shape for it’s age (the table’s from 1981).

This page will be where I update my repairing/restoring/building of arcade machines (and probably other video game related projects). Currently, I own 4 upright machines (two Atari’s that need some serious work, a Pole Position II, and a very nice condition Pit Fighter) and 1 cocktail table (currently an Astro Blaster but soon to be converted to a 48-in-1). I will post photos as I go into my repairs but for now you can check out my arcade pictures at http://www.pezchasers.net/games/arcade/.
