Well today I worked on this Paperboy that I picked up the other day. Man it cleaned up nice. You can eat off the floor now its so clean:D.

This is the first time where Big Blue has resurrected one of my arcades.
My son and I have been playing it all evening. He is thinks its awesome, first time he has seen one.

Looks pretty good.

Might want to turn the brightness down on the fly a hair, and it should enhance the colors and make it really pop.

Good idea. I turned it up a bit, when I had no picture to see what it was doing. It was just a white screen. I will back it off a bit. It looks better than the picture the flash brightened it up alot, but im still going to turn it down some.

Its harder than I remember. Best I have got is 15,000 on easy street:001_ssuprised:

My Roadblasters has the same issue. I have not even looked at it yet, I bought it and put it in the garage months ago. I hope its the same problem. I think I will pull it out tomorrow.

My best on Easy Street is 86,000 and change. I made it thru the entire week without missing any deliverys until Sunday... I missed the LAST HOUSE! So many times I've gotten to Sunday without missing a house and then I choke on 1 house. Very annoying. I'm not sure if you get some kind of special reward for not missing any houses for the whole week. Does anyone know if you get a perfect bonus for the entire week or not?

My big problem is getting killed during the week. I just played it last night and got 82,000, but I died 5 times, (starting with 3 lives) so that would be an additional 15,000 points that I lost out on.

Someone on Twin Galaxies just got 135,989 on Easy Street back in March of this year. Damn.... I have some practicing to do!!!!
 
I'm still stuck at 120,xxx on Easy Street.

I haven't played Paperboy in about 2 months now though. I needed to take a break. I have no clue how that 135,xxx score was put up. I'm missing a big part of the scoring somewhere, and I wish I could see a video of it :D

Great score, BTW. Paperboy is awesome.

What did you do to get 120,000? Hehehe... I want to see a video of you! I'm definitely missing something as well!

Wow 120k, I need to practice. I did get 309,000 on asteroids a few days ago though:D

Well tonite I broke 100,000 on Paperboy on Easy Street!!! I'm pretty excited! I still haven't had a perfect game (not dieing and 100% perfect delivery). That should definitely get me in the 120,000 + range, I'm still missing something though. Not sure how to get up to the current 139,989 world record?
 
Do you have anymore closet space:eek:
Hmm... If I organized them a little more I would. My bedroom has zero arcade machines in it, as well as the bathroom. In the room with the classic row, both ICB & ZP, and the 3 late 80's classics there is still space. I have a spot where I can put two 26 inch or so games next to eachother... I'd like to get my old Marble Madness machine back and another MUST have Atari System II sitting there. Then theres still enough room for one of the upright games in my garage, almost undoubtly it will be the Simpsons being stuffed back there. Other than that, I basically have no more room in my house unless I start enveloping my bedroom, which I'd prefer not to do... The garage is full, but half of it is crap. I'm hoping to setup a few of my larger games in a nice double row out in the garage, X-men 6 player is out there, my Neo-geo might also get moved out there to sacrafice a spot inside the house for something cooler.

The short answer... NO.
