Grail Time!

[ArcadeDanger]

Is it cheating if the very first cabinet you get is a grail? My first cabinet is a Marble Madness I found on craigslist. It's been well used, the side art is torn up, but it works well and I'm having a blast playing it; my family used to play marble madness on a Tandy 1000EX with joysticks - the arcade version is much harder. After a couple months of playing I'm getting to the Silly Race relatively easy.

I do think I've got some problems with the audio, there are some samples that seem to be garbled; perhaps reseat or eraser clean some of the chips on the board?

Look for the pokey chips on the schematics and re-seat/clean them. I'm not sure where they are on the System 1 machines but that is something you could try.

thanks to scottmaggie I got my mm. very happy to have it in the garcade, very nice game. the highlight of owning this game was in my klov party a few weeks ago, watching stevew play. it was awesome, I was in disbelief. he scored like 80k and broke all the high scores, on top of this it was a "bad game" for him.

what a blast!

It's a great game. You guys have a score to shoot for now on it, Scott probably wants another crack at it
