nantucketebooks.com
The fifth issue of Quarter Up!, a newsletter about pinball and retro arcade gaming. Articles in this issue: Coverage of Houston Arcade Expo 2023, games seen on the road, the reverse-engineering of Sinistar, league schedules, a recap of the year’s pinball games, and a special offer from Buffalo.

Hey, RetroGaming,

I’m excited to share this issue of Quarter Up with you. Writers from all over the country contributed to this last issue of 2023.

Our retro game article for this issue is about the reverse-engineering of Sinistar. Sinistar is one of the most technically-impressive arcade games of the 1980s. Our writer SynaMax took the entire game apart, down to the assembly code, and put it back together better than ever. He even discovered the origins of the famous ‘Sinistar roar.’

The awesome cover art is by Anna “Pencilforge” Frohling.
