was Exidy's 1981 Venture really "too complex"? Decided to research Venture by Exidy for a video I'm doing and I noticed on the Wikipedia page it says the arcade game was too complex and that made it "out of place" in the arcade. Was that true? I remember seeing Venture in lots of arcades and I...

Hello again. As promised here's my vid and mega thanks to jawhn for the thumbnail! lHtzzGbJEIA

WOW jawhn!! These pics are amazing! I am having a hard time choosing. But thanks a million (quarters) for taking these awesome snaps! It'll be a few days till I record and upload the vid but I'll put it in this thread so you can see your handiwork. Super big thanks man! :)

Wow thanks for the suggestions and questions. Anything will do really. I guess if the coins could be lit to show their plentiful nature that would be cool. And probably the easiest way to make it look full would be to put a towel in the box and then dump a few dozen coins on top? Not sure how...

I have a favor to ask, does anyone have a picture of an arcade machine with its coin door open and the box inside heaped with quarters? It's for a thumbnail for a video I'm doing. I searched Google images and was surprised how difficult it is to locate such a picture.

aahhh thanks man

Hi there, I tried Googling this but figured I'd ask you experts. At the NW Pinball expo I got to play Dredd pinball and my previous experience is only on Pinball Arcade. On the hardware at the show, the left Missile Launch automatically fired whereas in Pinball Arcade I have to hit the flipper...

This is one of those times I wish there was an animated gif of Belloq from Raiders of the Lost Ark staring into the light and shouting "It's beautiful!"

Thanks for replying folks. There's no huge rush, I mean if it can't be fixed for six months I am a-okay with that. I don't have the kit for parts or anything, but I'm totally willing to pay for the purchase of whatever is needed plus the labor plus shipping my unit back and forth. The only snag...

Anyone do the capacitor replacement fix on Sega Game Gears? My Game Gear has both the weird screen issue where I need to tilt it low to see it and my sound is extremely low. If I hold the GG up to my ear I can hear the sound playing (headphones work just fine). Otherwise it works. I don't need...

A friend of mine and I are arguing about how console makers are reducing costs by removing features and it caused me to wonder: did the Atari 2600 Jr come with paddles when it originally shipped?

Sounds eerily like the present video game industry

Thanks to the Arcade USA youtube channel I recently found out about a couple of Japan-only games that intrigue me now: Final Reverse and Lunar Lander. I had a look at how many original GB games were only released in Japan and there's tons of them, too many to research each one. Anyone got...

There's irony. I just posted videos discussing Defender (albeit the 2600 version) and arcade Sinistar. Coincidence? TSnLIpP0xK0 qw2JBAeJm_I

Necrobump of an old thread here .... I was going to try putting this analog version of Warrior on my MAME machine and now it appears all the content has been deleted. Any idea why?
