Arcade Business was a business simulation my friend (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=788539621) and I designed and coded some 13 years ago.

In the game you establish an arcade with the goal to make it as profitable and popular as possible by providing your customers with gaming experiences ranging from racing sims like "The Final Front Tyre" to air hockey tables and laser zones.

It took my ancient Toshiba laptop to actually retrieve the game from the strange file storage artefact (displayed). You can download a packet containing both the registered and the unregistered versions of the game at rintakumpu.fi/arcade_business.zip (0,5mb, In Finnish, for DOS).


Colorado - Boulder: Hotel Boulderado - cash register

Image by wallyg
This circa 1909 cash register is believed to be from Valentine Hardware, which was located on Pearl Street from 1907 to 1970. Notice the four key holes and the four coinciding lettered draws in the wooden case below the register. This system enabled clerks to keep their cash and receipts in separate drawers for ease of reconciling at the conclusion of a work shift.

The Hotel Boulderado, at 2115 13th Street, originally opened on New Year's Eve, 1908 with the first guests checking in on New Year's Day 1909. Named after a combination of the words "Boulder" and "Colorado", the five-story brick building was designed in the Italianate style by Redding, William, & Son and Geranson & Beckstrom. The lobby sits under a glittering stained glass ceiling with a cantilevered cherry stairase leading to the upstairs rooms.

Originally built by the Boulder Hotel Company for 1,665 using subscriptions of 0 per share from local business owners. It was privately owned until 1940 when Bill and Winnie Hutson received it as a wedding gift. In 1963, Ed Howard bought the hotel and installed a sprinkler system, saving it from condemnation. In 1976, William Brantmeyer took over ownership, replacing guest rooms with the Mezzanine lounge on the second floor. In 1980, Frank Day and Boulderado Hotel, Ltd. took over ownership and added the North Wing in 1985 and 1989.

Famous guests over the years have included Enos Mills, Ethel Barrymore, Helen Keller, Rober Frost, Duke Ellington, and Louis Armstrong.
