Too many cabinets, one shed

Insert coin, player one.

Every year I promise myself one new cabinet. Every year there are two. The shed currently holds a Galaxian, a Pac-Man, a half-finished Defender and a cocktail table I have been calling 'a project' since August. So this issue is less about collecting and more about what to do when you run out of floor.

Rotate, sell, lend

Keep the ones you play, lend the ones you only admire and be honest about the project that has not moved in a year. A local club or pub with a spare corner will often happily house a machine. Ask first, label it with your name and agree who pays for repairs. The Killer List of Videogames is handy for working out what a rare one is worth before you lend it.

This week's high scores

• Galaxian, upright: 31,900, set by someone who refused to give their name.
• Pac-Man, sit-down cabinet: a perfect board three, and a very smug grin.
• Donkey Kong, the one with the sticky joystick: 74,200 before the third barrel.

That's the table for this week. Reply with your own best score, I read every one.
