OP link should be edited to the ArcadeBlogger.com one, the submitted link is blatant AI-generated blogspam.
These days I feel like HN should also have a note on the submission page that if you're submitting a link you should look for the original source. It seems like there's been an exponential increase in blogspam lately.

Vastly better article. More pictures and details.

Starts off great then just ends I wish they’d talk about which games they got , which they got working, and what the restoration process was…

D-tier article for such a potentially interesting subject, if you haven't read it already don't waste your time.

There is a HUGE amount of spam content posted on this site. Extremely low quality stuff. As others have said in other comments, there is better coverage/write-ups of this elsewhere. In fact, it feels like an AI rewrite of some of those higher-quality pieces.

Wikipedia suggests the machines were abandoned as late as 2004, which is when the "fun ship" closed.
