Picture this, a warehouse, last week, somewhere in New England, and over in a corner buried lay a beautiful Capcom Big Blue defiled by Tekken 3. I walk in and asked the owner, "does it fire up?" We walk over to the giant blue beast, flip the switch and POW, Tekken 3 lights up the monitor. We play a game and laugh maniacally. I pay the man for the cab and his troubles.
Fast forward to today, delivery driver calls, "we're here and we got your cab". The driver and I lug the big, blue, beast strapped to our backs, uphill in bare feet through five feet of snow to my office and gently lay it down. I dance with glee over my new acquisition.
After my celebratory jig I plug it in expecting gore and blood only have it constantly reset. I shake my fist towards the arcade gods and curse their name.
The PS, I presume? I test said PS only to get a good range. "What could it be?" I ask. I take the boards out to examine them only to discover TWO FUCKING tokens wedged in between the boards creating a god damn circuit that fried my board!
Really? Is this how it is going to go down? Death by a Chucky Cheese token? Well at least it was only Tekken 3.
I tested the board in another cab only to experience the same thing
At least I was fortunate enough to snag a SFII HF this week! Haha Tekken 3 the joke's on you. You were never wanted.
