Is there any kind of UPS / generator backup? Just in case?

Yes, the game and the encoding/streaming PC are on battery backup.

Glad to see the joust love. But, I must ask... Where are the tunes? How can you be playing an arcade game for so long without any music playing?

 

[thebman80]

That is a good point after 24 hours of Joust sound effect I would welcome music.

Good idea. I know we are supposed to have windy weather this weekend, but you know how weathermen are it just could easily show up tomorrow. - Barry

I'm not a huge Joust fan, but I've always respected people with the ability and skill to play a marathon session.

This is amazing! The guy is still at it!

Serious respect there.

I'm doing my best but there is only one of me here to help.

John's not a big fan of music and finds it somewhat distracting.

Any update? Seeing a marathon on Joust after all these years is very cool. Joust is almost playable on my Robotron, so this is getting my pyched-up.

Sounds like some good progress. Is he having trouble staying awake?
