Nice. Darts is always popular in the arcade. Like you said, it adds the physical element, combined with the fun, turn based aspect that any adult with a drink in hand appreciates. When I was at my old apartment, darts was easily one of the most played games during parties. While the vids got...
Another update:
I was trying to figure out how this scammer could create a new handle that was identical. Turns out, it's not.
I copied and pasted both handles into Notepad.
The original handle is 'wonderwallroads" with two lower case "L" letters.
The scammer/spoofer used two upper case "i"...
Just a heads up, it appears that the OP's account has possibly been hacked/spoofed and/or compromised.
Someone with the same handle reached out to me, asking if I wanted to buy this, but the join date, messages and reaction score don't line up. The account was created today.
Googling the...
Yep. Grew up in the St. Cloud area, then lived in Plymouth for about 12 years or so before moving to CA while @CarrieZ save for our future MN lake home. My folks live in Melrose, just off of Birch Lake.
Yeah, and the crazy thing is they originally gave me an estimate of $350 so it wound up even cheaper. I had a ton of stuff powdercoated by that shop over the years before they closed down. It was around that time, that I found my local guy, Doug, who's pretty awesome. The issue with a lot of the...
I guess I'll be the voice to endorse powder coating then. Agreed, to each their own, but I fricking love my powder-coated Red Tent and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was a no-brainer for me, especially since mine was converted to a Neo Geo. Used a hammer/dolly set to get all of the major...
Noticed just recently that the K7000 in @CarrieZ 's Elevator Action had a little bit of a horizontal linearity issue where (more noticeably) the right side would get narrower. Using the TPG showed that there was also a mild version on the left side as well. Per @zenomorp, I knew it was probably...
Welcome to the craze that is this hobby. I got bit by the bug pretty early in my life, buying my first game in 2004 at the age of 21. Another 21 years later and I still can't get enough.
I assume you're looking for the Midway style 8-way joystick used in games like Gaplus?
They basically look like a Pac-Man joystick except they have an 8-way/square restrictor inside of the 4-way/diamond style.
If that's the case, then yeah, they're not so common. When I restored my Gaplus, I...
To add to the button confusion, Klax only uses one button yet the control layout is pretty much the same as Tetris, with the "flip/start" button(s) on both sides of each joystick. @CarrieZ has a Tetris PCB and we were planning on throwing a 2in1 switcher in her Klax cabaret (in which case, I'm...
Yeah, in my youth, I recall SFII almost always being in a Dynamo/Z-back with that awful control panel slanted angle, some form of Big Blue, or any of 100 various converted cabs of sorts. The Big Blue was always my favorite and I wanted a later gen because that's what SSF2/ST came in and was...
Still haven't gotten used to seeing you here on the KLOV forums, Esom. 😜
I like your goal of collecting every fighting game in that 20 year span. That's totally in your wheelhouse. So if you're starting with 1984...have you found yourself a Karate Champ? You definitely need one. I won't let...
