The Strong National Museum of Play, Rochester, New York.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><br>In 1972, Bally Manufacturing Co. released Bally Hill Climb. Hill Climb is an electromechanical racing game in which the player controls a miniature neon pink dirt bike riding up a steep hill.  Although the game has been in the museum\u2019s collection since 2018, it has never been available for the public to play until this year. This game, and many other games like it, have been used exclusively for exhibition purposes due to the age of the game, condition, and the extreme difficulty of finding replacement parts. Hill Climb itself had a few condition issues that needed to be addressed. The player-controlled bike was in rough shape\u2014the bike\u2019s blown plastic shell was cracked and warped due to age. To remedy this, the shell was removed and scanned using a RevoPoint Pop 3 3D scanner, which allowed the capture of the complex geometry of the plastic part. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museumofplay.org\/app\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2-1024x827.jpeg\" alt=\" SLA 3D printer set up in the conservation lab.

Once printed, the part was cleaned, and cured in a heated bath of isopropyl alcohol, followed by UV light exposure in the Prusia CW1S. The reproduced shell was then painted by the conservator to match the original, including considering the original bike\u2019s efflorescence effect under the game\u2019s special black light feature.

Or should we replace the original mechanical score reels in a game with a digital display? And lastly, should we replace original painted artwork with a printed replica? Most of the time, the answer to these questions is no. These kinds of modifications do allow for easier preservation and extension to the life of a game, but the cost is that the gameplay no longer preserves the original experience. There may come a time when we can no longer maintain this aging equipment but, as a lab dedicated to preservation and conservation, we must do our best to keep new and old technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By: Zach Fischer, Assistant to the Arcade Game Conservation Technician<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean to preserve an experience?
