The first game I remember was pong, but seriously I think what hooked me was the little hand held football game that was all LED's. As far as Real video games go I believe Space Wars was the one the got me. Someone told me that space wars was actually the first video game with graphics. (befor...

has anyone used the company Great Western Trading company lately? I can't seem to get through, the phone just rings and they don't answer the emails. I ordered and payed for a joystick and haven't recieved it yet and was wondering if i should back the charge out.??

Well I've played a lot of arcade games and if you got the quarters you can get to the end. But on TNK III it aint gonna happen. After about half way there is so much SH@T comming at you, you get about a third of the way down the current screen and then your dead (thats if your good).

is it just me or are some games just not designed to win or even play after a certain level. I have TNK III and great game good graphics and concept. but all of the enemies move as fast or faster and they also shoot further unless you pick up a power pelet for distance and they aint common. is...

Thanks for the web page Deckard but this seams to be one of the ones missing from it and others. Texas hotshot: what part of the solder should I reflow? the plug in is grounding the five volt signal properly. So I would think that the problem is elswere, but I am new to this, and reflowing...

I am having a problem with the rotary portion of the TNK III board (Ikari Wariors). it starts to work once it is hot or at some random interval (don't know which). the 2nd player controler rotory works imediately. Sounds like a bad conncection or crack that gets connection when hot...

thanks I thought that was it. I will try that when i get home... i just got one of those joysticks

hey greywolf do you know the rotory joy stick hook ups. I don't think they are on the straight pin connecter. i think they are on another one. do you have any other info on the ikari boards?

thanks grey, you the man!

Thanks I bought it less than 90 days ago. Thanks I will give them a call.

That sounds good but what if your using a TV setup through an HGA system??

Has anybody ever tried to make or heard of someone making a 90 degree video flipper so I don't have to rotate the tv/monitor for vertical games??? Since most boards have a video flipping switch, I would think it was an easy little piece of gear to make. Probably very saleable too.

Cap Kit??? I am new at this, forgive my ignorance . whats a cap kit and how is it obtained and installed???

I hade one at work in the breakroom for years and the joysticks on that one were the same. We even replaced one of them with another from Happ controls. If the game I had was modified before I got It I don't know.
