I'm in

That one wasn't mine @greedycrisp, but I appreciate the thought. Here's a link to a thread about my recreated QIX instruction card. A scan of my NOS QIX instruction card is here. (scan isn't great, which is why I recreated it). I am still planning on having a decent repro made. It's taken me...

Not sure why it's not viewing inline, let me try that again.

Here's my recreated QIX instruction card. Same font, same spacing, same size, etc., as far as I can tell. I had the original NOS version side-by-side when I created it. White text, black background, intended to be printed on orange material. If anyone here finds a better way to repro this...

I tried doing exactly that (orange transparency film with black print), and was disappointed with the results. The black was uneven. That's using a commercial FedEx printer. Looking at it again: I think I was being too critical. This photo is backlit by sunlight. But it will be backlit by a...

Bumping this thread. I made a hi-res scan using a FedEx office scanner. I'm not blown away by the results, but here it is.

I'm in Philly for my daughter's graduation from UPenn. I flew in direct from San Diego (I was there for work), and the rest of my family arrives tomorrow. I stopped by Barcade (Center City) this afternoon, and was impressed. I'm into Golden Age games. Tons of classics, and a bunch I haven't...

Fixed, thanks!

1981 wins in my arcade, by a mile (7 games): 1979 Asteroids, Galaxian 1980 Crazy Climber, Pac Man, Q*Bert 1981 Defender, Ms Pac, Donkey Kong, Qix, Scramble, Stargate, Tempest 1982 DK Jr, Millipede 1984 Kung-Fu Master 1985 Nintendo Vs.

Back in Halifax, and stopped by the Propeller arcade tonight. Space Duel is sadly gone. They now have a Baby Pac Man. I haven't seen/played one since 1980-something, so I spent a Loonie playing it tonight. I have to say: it utterly fails as both an arcade game and a pinball game. It's now my...

Forgot to post my Qbert here. Picked it up on Friday. I started a restore thread (currently waiting on parts to rebuild the power supply).

I saw Computer Space at Canobie Lake park in the mid 70s, so arcade first. Then my uncle Mark's TV-connected Pong (probably from Sears) a few years later (none of the above, I guess). Then Space Invaders in a Pizza Shop in Quincy Center in 1978 (arcade). Followed by Galaxian. Etc., etc. So...

I was born in 1967. I remember playing Computer Space on a school field trip to Canobie Lake Park in in 1973 or 74. I played Space Invaders at a pizza place in Quincy center in 1978. Played Galaxian at the same place a year or so later (and was blown away). Played Crazy Climber when it first...

Defender, all day long. A complete classic (mine has the steel coin door). And I'm terrible at it.

It's a flow game. You should always be moving forward and never stand still unless absolutely necessary. I don't find it overly difficulty once you figure out the flow. I think your comments can be summarized as "I suck at this game, and I can't be bothered to figure out how to play it...

Not accurate, at all. I've owned my Kung-Fu Master cabinet for 20+ years, and it plays smoothly. Running/jumping kicks are key for jumping over the short grunts, while kicking the taller ones behind them. I wonder if there's a technical issue with your cabinet, PCB, joystick, etc

Wow, a lot of hate for Kung-Fu Master. Great game, IMO. I suspect playing with a 4-way joystick makes it more Zaxxon-ish (my Irem cabinet had an 8-way when I bought it 20+ years ago). I manually swapped Kung-Fu Master and Moon Patrol PCBs for years, and both were fan favorites at my arcade...
