My first pickup of 2011

Sounds like a nice trade to me. Robotron is definitely my favorite game, and all the others are great as well. Congrats on the score and nice job with the hilarious avatar! That dudes just makes magic!
 
Congrats on the score. I'm looking at acquiring a Williams game just hoping a new batch of Jrok boards come out.
 
Congrats on the score. I love the Robotron: 2084 cab art and I agree it's the best Williams game hands down. Having all of the others on the MW is a plus. Have fun with it!
 
Agreed. The PPUs are a pain in the ass to find to complete chipsets. Hell, I sold an extra PPU a little while back for $40 by itself.
Damn that's pretty crazy, but not really surprising. I had to rob the PPU from my Goonies daughter card to get my Dr Mario to work.

Thats what lots of people do, and you end up with incomplete chip sets. I'd say 10 complete chip sets (including all the popular games SMB, Excitebike, Dr Mario, Ice Climbers, Balloon Fight, etc) made this trade even.
 
Wow a straight up trade of your Red Tent for a Multi-Williams? Man that makes me seriously think about seeing what kind of trade I could get for my Red Tent. :D It's not that I don't like it at all, but I could see getting more use out of something else.
I thought it ended up being a fairly even trade with the 5 boards and all. Shrugs. The jrok board is an awesome product. We are lucky to have people like him in the hobby to make products like this. For me, the 3 games I really wanted in order were Stargate, Robotron and Defender. The controls are just "off" enough that I'm going to look to add Robo and Stargate cabarets. So it sounds like this worked out for both of us. I played the shit out of RBI this weekend, barely got to Excitebike and didn't touch the box of boards. Thanks Jow!
 
Is that coming from the guy who was previously bashing the graphics on this game?

I never said it looked great. Its fun as hell though.

EDIT : from the "Worst looking, best playing games" thread I said "the graphics arent exactly stellar". Does that count as bashing?

There is a Fritz joke in there somewhere, but I just couldn't make it work.
 
How do you play Sinistar on a horizontal monitor?

It plays horizontally. In the options menu you can setup "rotate joystick for Sinistar" or something like that, and it controls fine. I never played Sinistar BITD, so I don't know any different.

yeah. the rotate stick option is there so it'll play horizontally like all the other horizontal games, or, if you want to put this in a sinistar cab and disable everything else, you can play it vertically. but, it gives you both options in case.

AS has an ASS interface.

Nice cab! Poor cell phone pic.

Yes, you were bashing the game.

You are forgiven.
 
I seriously thought I was going to be treated to a picture of a homely man in a business suit sitting inside of a Limo taken from the corner of Hollywood and Vine. I even hoped to see a few wisps of your salmon-colored feather boa that had floated in from the sides of the shot before you clicked the shutter. Color me disappointed, if a little relieved.
