20 years... who knew?
Well it has been about 20 years since the database has been live. I used this site to learn how to learn .NET programming and it put me on a path to becoming a professional software developer which I have also now been doing for 20 years (in the beer industry currently). It's sorta crazy that we have 77,516 serial numbers at this point which seems like a lot... however when you look at individual games, it is a pittance of the total number of serial numbers and pinball machines ever produced... Even super popular games like Twilight Zonehave only 10% of the total number of serials registered. How many have been destroyed or even exist... maybe we will know more in 50 years! :-) Cheers to another 20... thanks for all your support and participation, this database woudn't be what it is without you!

Site Updates
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the site needed some work regarding it's hosting configuration. I was able to move the site off the more expensive VM and onto a generic app service host. While I figure out pricing vs resources (CPU and Memory) the site may run a bit slow over the next couple weeks as I tweak things. I will see if I can get it as performant as possible and report back here!

Website Needs Update Badly!
Hi All.... Just fixed the map on the game serial listings. Looks like Google needed a Credit Card attached, not that our traffic is that high that I get charged, they just want a Credit Card in case I believe.

On another note, the website is in need of modernization pretty badly. It is running on an Azure VM right now which is considerably more expensive than publishing it up to Azure as a generic web app. I need to look into that soon. Additionally, overall, we are really running 2010 technology here. I trying to think of options on a rewrite (Im a .NET kinda guy), but if anyone out there is willing to help, email me please. Also looking into other options. The codebase is quite large as you can imagine. Thoughts are welcome! jess@askey.org
