Gamey, are the sides black on that Frogger? Or is that just the angle?

Wow... bid 99 cents and this gem could be yours! (Not mine.) Too bad I already have a marquee on my Mr. Do. Mr. Do marquee on eBay

I have an Operation Wolf project that I'm considering selling -- I'm out of room and have my eye on an already-working impulse buy...

I sent the guy an email... maybe we can track down some MAME ROMs or something. Even if it's not that great, I have a feeling it'd still be better than Wild Ride.

Thanks, Frizz. That's what I was wondering. I figured if it was just made out of paper, I'd at least go for the more durable stuff and/or something that backlights well.

I stumbled upon the Multi-Galaxian web site and noticed they have a custom game in there called Mr. Do's Nightmare. As a Mr. Do fan, I'm pretty curious about it. Has anyone played it? http://www.arcades.plus.com/multigame3.htm

I was looking into getting some stuff printed at MameMarquees... the marquees come in both "Premium" and "Ultimate" versions. All it says for the premium is that it's "the same award winning material that we have been printing on for over 3 years." That's nice and all, but what the heck is the...

Here's a decent looking Asteroids in NJ (not mine) -- looks like it's just in test mode. Maybe you can talk the guy down and just flip the test switch when you get home. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/ele/723939230.html

By the way, I didn't forget about you, Gamey -- I never heard back from the guy that I said might be interested. If I do, I'll let you know. If I don't, I guess it's his loss.

Boy, I haven't seen this thread in a while. I ended up fixing the sound by swapping in a working sound board. Upon closer examination, it looked like someone spilled a can of Coke or something on the non-working one. Sadly, I still haven't gotten the gun working. (I also haven't tinkered...

It was quite a few years ago, but I think I used ArcadeShop for mine. I was pretty happy with it... especially considering how trashed it looked beforehand.

Re: how bad have you lit urself up while fixing a game No game zaps yet (knock knock), but I did touch an electric fence by accident when I was a kid. It felt like someone grabbed my thumb by the knuckle and wiggled it back and forth as fast as possible. Not looking forward to my first blessing!

I know what you're saying -- I have a G07-CAO, and you can't hook the standard JAMMA video connector to it. The pins are spaced differently. I don't know if all G07s are like that or not, but the CAO is. This doesn't answer your question, but I just thought I'd try and help clarify.

I had a few roommates from Fairfax (I went to JMU). Lemme check and I'll get back to you.

Super Chexx also features a Shots On Goal count -- anytime the puck goes through the crease, it counts as a shot on goal. It's kind of fun seeing who was playing more aggressively and offensively. I don't think regular Chexx has that feature.
