Hi. My name is caldenza. I work on arcade machines and weird video games on the regular. Working with one of my close friends, we are looking to raise funds to "dump" what is the last known arcade machine of Aerosmith: Quest for Fame in the world.

The arcade port of Aerosmith: Quest for Fame was made by NAMCO in 1999, as a port of what is known to be the first rhythm game ever released, "Quest for Fame". This machine was purchased from the estate of Steven Tyler, and is soon to be publicly available in Michigan. This machine shares the exact same board hardware as the recently preserved "Un Jammer Lammy NOW!" arcade machine by NAMCO.

We have been recording videos of this machine being played as it sits, but want this game to be available for future generations to experience and enjoy. The system this game runs on is notably difficult to dump safely, so we have coordinated for an experienced crew to come through and safely dump the contents of the unique System12 ROM board.

The funds raised from this campaign will be used to cover flight and lodging expenses for the parties mentioned prior. Any extra funds raised past our goal will be used to fund future upkeep on the cabinet for continued public usage.

Thank you for reading and thank you again for any support you are able to provide to our campaign effort. We hope to make sure this game is preserved and playable for future generations to come.
