Spotlight on Staff: Arcade Video Game Conservation Engineer John Villard
John Villard joined The Strong in 2010 as its arcade video game conservation engineer. He has a degree in electrical engineering and owned a gaming store for more than 10 years. Now he conserves and repairs the hundreds of arcade video game and pinball machines in the museum’s collections.
What do you like best about your job?
The museum’s collection includes old and rare games for use in displays only, but it also includes many machines that we allow guests to play. I most enjoy watching children and adults playing the games I've worked so hard to maintain and make safe and enjoyable.
What are some of the challenges of maintaining these machines?
It can be difficult to conserve and preserve these decades-old artifacts, especially when vintage parts are scarce. For example, raster monitors used in retro arcade games are no longer manufactured. I need to repair the original components or hunt down reproduction parts or ones taken from old games which were broken down for parts before being discarded.
It can also be hard to make a game operate properly, accurately, and smoothly. There can be many issues in the control inputs, audio and visual outputs, and hardware and software. I strive to make it so that guests can have the same game experience as people that played these games decades ago.
What’s the rarest machine that you’ve worked on?
I’ve had the privilege of working on “Maze Invaders,” which Atari never released. The museum recently acquired one of only two known prototypes in the world.
What’s your favorite game?
I like Qbert. The rules are simple to understand, and gameplay requires quick decision making to outsmart the Uggs.
