R-Type

Irem's 1987 title R-Type is a horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up game. Though infamous for its difficulty, R-Type is among the most beloved games in its genre. Players control the star ship R-9 "Arrowhead" and strike against the evil alien race known as Bydo.

This weekend we're going to use half of WALL-O-VISION to watch Summer Games Done Quick, an amazing event that showcases the best video game speedrunners raising money for Doctors Without Borders. If you're not familiar with the world of speedrunning, this is an excellent event to get acquainted with it.

Because the other station is wide open, we have room to play our first two-player competitive game: Super Street Fighter II. Come on in and fight your friends!

Happy Fourth of July weekend, everyone! We're celebrating with a limited edition sundae: The Red White & Blue combines mini-scoops of Strawberry, Vanilla, and Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream with fresh berries and a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Speaking of fresh fruit, we have two new flavors on tap: the aforementioned Blueberry Cheesecake and Peach!

We were interviewed for a great article in Manayunk Magazine's summer issue, which just hit the presses this week. Stop by and check it out, or read it online! Our piece starts on page 36.

We had a blast being featured on Manayunk.com's MANAYUNK MORNINGS!

Thanks go out to Manayunk.com for choosing us, Leo Dillinger for being an affable host, and Terry Leahy for expertly filming goofballs in their natural habitat.

Today we debut a new flavor of ice cream AND a limited-edition sundae: this one is for all the mint lovers out there.

Earn a merit badge in deliciousness with our "Cookie Season" sundae! A scoop of Chocolate Mint Chocolate is paired with hot fudge, cookie crumbles, and a Milano cookie.

I'd make a thinly veiled reference to a particular mint cookie, but I fear I'd lose brownie points.

We've been hard at work churning to replenish our ice cream stock after the Manayunk StrEAT festival. Look at that line!

We offer our sincerest apologies to anyone left in the lurch after we ran out of ice cream on Sunday.

Spring is here, and we have a new limited-edition flavor to ring in the season: Lavender Honey! We also have a special sundae built around it: our "Taste of Spring" is a small sundae that pairs a scoop of Lavender Honey with a Madeline cookie and caramel drizzle. Get your May flowers early!
